FYI "pilot-friendly airline" is an oxymoron.

"long term optimist...short term realist"
I have gone to this level of thinking and better for it. I miss the flying, but the money is better, not sure if I would go back if I had the chance. The airline industry is not what it used to be, no respect for pilots, IMO it is run by beancounters and performance bonus incentives for managers.
good luck
