Stay where you are mate. Only consider it, if you are offered LH and even then think very carefully about it.

My life outside work has deteriorated massively, and it is now apparent that unless I get LH soon, I will have to apply for part-time to be able to have any life outside work.

Being ex-Thomson (made redundant) now BA SH. (approximately half way up the SH Seniority list.)
Very rare to have more than 3 days off in a row, mostly 2 days off 4,5 or 6+days on, then 2 days off. No control over days off, as they can force assign you work up to a week before the beginning of the month.
No gold/silver days, so anything important you have to book a weeks leave.

Most days are very long, with a lot of wasted time. More and more 4 sector days are appearing on the roster and this is expected to get even worse with EASA.

Earlies 5-7am, lates 12-3pm.

10mins on the bus form the carpark, but it can be difficult to find a space, so allow at least 20 mins but ideally more.
