Being home most nights and being an airline pilot are not usually synonymous, especially when junior. At some point you’re going to have to bite the bullet and deal with being gone 12-16 nights per month and have an honest conversation with yourself about whether or not you and your family can handle that.

Allegiant is one of the few airlines that do mainly out and backs, but if you’re just barely qualified for a regional then I’m not sure they would look at you. Most places have majority 3-4 day trips, so I don’t think you’re going to be able to totally avoid that. May want to base your regional selection criteria on different factors if that is unavoidable, because those other factors may be important to your family (schools, safety, cost of living, etc).

Hopefully you find something compatible with you and your family. Best of luck.
