Living close to your base is a huge bonus compared to many who have a long slog to work. I worked for an ex holiday company and did mixed fleet flying from UK to the usual 'charter' holiday destinations. The mix was super, slightly varied LH contracts varied the destinations and I thoroughly enjoyed all the regular Caribbean work we did. SH on a 321 could be up to 6 hrs + with stopovers, so African sun in winter. Mixed fleet, 320/330, is probably the best option if you foresee that on the J2 horizon, the days of BA 75/76 are long gone so there is not much choice any more. I think that a life time of SH at your age would be quite tedious, so maybe I would plump for the BA LH, but keep an ear open for any developments at J2. As others have said, if you get LH at BA, I suspect it is easy to revert to SH. Enjoy your time, I had a ball despite the great deal of moaning that you hear!
