That's not true. If all planes were equal pay wise I would bid the one that let me live in base or gave me the best seniority. In fact, pay is the only reason I would probably ever bid the 175. If pay were equal then I'd weigh all the other factors like bases, seniority, how good the trips are, etc.
Type of airplane wouldn't even enter my equation. I'd take a king air if it paid the same as a 175, had better trips and let me live in base.
Who cares what kind of airplane you fly if you're paid well and live in base getting good trips?
