I asked this over on the Poolie thread but it didn't get much traction. Maybe it's more appropriate here....

Aircraft preference question:

ASSUMING I have a choice....717, 737NG, or 320 to ATL? I live just under 3 hours from ATL and my priorities are stability and home time vs dollars.

How long are guys sitting reserve on the NG & bus before holding a line, and will that time be increased on the NG by the 757 displacements? I like the idea of BHM overnights in the 717, but it's a pretty substantial pay bump to the other aircraft. I just don't want to sit reserve for a year to get it.

Is there a way to find the hire date of the junior line holder on each jet to figure out how long to expect to sit reserve?

Sorry for the duplication. I should have known better than to post in the poolie thread just before an aircraft drop.
