He's right. I'm in your same situation and believe me, I think about it every day. But then I think, "What's the best I'll do at a legacy, narrow body captain?". Then I realize it's not worth it. With our seniority we get any day off we want and the pay isn't that bad. It'll probably take you a few years to get back to the pay, and you may never get the schedule you want again if you decide to upgrade.

But if you commute and you can possibly drive, maybe that's worth it to you. Good luck.
