Just thought there might be something crazy out there like changing to mandatory sits at the airport instead of the 2 hour call out window from home. My wife and I plan to move to whatever base we get, so reserve shouldn't be too horrible...I hope. After 16 moves in 27 years (with 3 being overseas), we've gotten pretty efficient at moving.
Edit to add that it's with the same company, not due to job hopping...

Working outside of aviation will do that or hell go work a freight run. I get 1 day week and have a 15 hour duty day; I beg for an extra day. I’m looking forward to starting up at the regionals to have some what of a life. It’s all about perspective.
