Thanks gloopy for the good insight. You are right in that theres really no great narrowbody flying out of NYC. Even if I magically got a 7ER, I'd be working to exhaustion. 737 and MD88 wont fare much better but I would get a line the fastest on the MD88. I am expecting to get the MD88 and it will grow on me. The most attractive thing about the a320 is it currently has the most EWR departures (1 hour drive from my house). I could yellow slip ewr reports and it would drastically improve my QOL.
