I think you need to consider what you're getting into. Junior pilots at most airlines don't enjoy great QOL . . . liveable, yes, but great, probably not . . . but if you want to make your way up the ladder, you need to start at the bottom and take opportunities as they're offered. Don't expect a SoCal base with a 1000-to-1400-Tuesday-through-Thursday run for the first couple of years. DO expect a lot of valuable experience and training!
