Thanks!
737 EWR flying has the best flying in the company IMO. Carribean beach layovers, transcons, 16-17 days off for jr line holders. I commute on the Bus and think it would be a nicer plane to fly but the QOL on the 737 helps to outweigh the plane itself. I would love to transfer to LA or SF for easier commute, but they have tons of red eyes with min days off.
