Come back and report in two years from now when your schedules are still utter garbage because people keep converting in above you but your peers are sitting pretty with far better seniority and qol in the right seat of their junior fleets.
Maybe you won’t regret it, but that is not the life for me; it sounds horrific. It’s a violation of the two golden rules of being an airline pilot.
I get it. Get senior and stay senior. However, I know what I’m buying. I’ve been living it already and I can do it indefinitely. It’s not as bad as everybody says. I also know it is completely reversible if the right opportunity comes along.
