If you’re junior you might think the risk is worth it. Someone senior and already making me more money on the A320, might not think that risk is worth it....and again it’s a small paycut if you hold the same seat. Just my guess.
It's about a 4% cut for A320 captains, or about 3 hrs of flying per month above min guarantee to make up the difference if you want to look at it that way. Depending on base and schedule, you may find some A320 captains make the jump for QOL reasons. I'd consider it. Initially I'd expect it to go mostly to current E190 pilots from the same base.
