This is good advice. I think what he is trying to say is that if you do not have a choice of where to go, or will have to commute, the 737 will offer the most flexibility and options faster.
The 757 is a fine plane as is the bus, but you will be much fewer options, and the 757 especially, you will be stuck junior for a very long time, unless you are in EWR.
A plane is a plane. Do what will allow you the most time off with family at home. Yes, bold statement. Do what is best for you, don't follow the other lemmings off the cliff.
