Im seriously contemplating leaving BA 747 to go to low cost short haul for a quick upgrade
I am not sure how long you have been in BA, but many find the first few years hell. I nearly left to go to EK.
I am now 75% part time to make my work life balance bearable. However I do not think that LC would be any easier than BA SH/LH unless you get a based where you live. Not necessarily an easy thing to achieve. I have conssideded that myself.

But regardless make sure to think long term. What do you want in 10 years time and how do the T&C compare with LC when you get there.
If you hang in there on the 747 until your freeze is up, you’d be almost guaranteed to get a A320 command at LGW. Do 6-12 months and then move to LC.
At least you have your command time and you’ll have many more options.

I know people who have chased quick commands, and it has rarely worked out, due to empty promises or unexpected downturn etc.

Just my opinion. ATB with whatever you choose to do
