Default 91K to WN

Hey everyone, currently a 91K FO, been on this side of the industry for all of my career, but recently have been wondering about what 121 is like. I like my job, I like my company, but the unbelievably inconsistent scheduling, red eyes, long tours, and lack of care from those building trips is taking a toll. This side of the industry is slammed and barely staying afloat, and that’s coming at the expense of us pilots. I know absolutely nothing about the airlines, I don’t understand pay structure, how the lines/reserve works, etc. Has anyone else transitioned from 135/91K to Southwest that could share some insight? I live in PHX currently (I do know that’s a relatively senior base), but I’ve never had to commute so not sure what to expect. Any info is helpful, just trying to see if the grass is greener and if my kid is gonna be able to see her dad more than a few days a month. Thanks in advance.
