To the OP….

I’m assuming you referring, to yourself, to the 7 day stretch. Pretty much stable schedule with some minor wrinkles.

Consider how the change will effect your wife and child. How long have you lived at your current location? Family friends? Support network?
Have you broached the subject with your wife? If not already… What is your ranking on the food chain for upgrading to PIC? What will your situation be after your upgrade? Fleet, pay and schedule?

True… AA and WN are TX based. However you may be sitting reserve in a location that may result in a miserable commute yielding 1 or 2 days with the family versus…. What… 7 or 8 days at home? That may be more disruptive to your family situation too?

Whatever the choice you make… enjoy the ride… Beats working for a living.
