Recently switched from Maddog to 73. The workload an FO goes thru on the 73 vs the 88 is much lower. It's like a different airline. Not only are the flightdeck flows easier, but you're also only doing them once or twice a day. Typically flew 3-2-3 3 days on the 88. Now flying 1-2-1 3 days on the 737 with great layovers. However the 73 does have a ton of red eyes.

As far as pay, especially for a new guy, I think the 717 and 88 will be more lucrative than the 737 with the exception of NYC 73N which is always seems to be short. 717 is quite short and on staffing due to sim availability. The 88 is the 88. Many folks looking to get off the airplane ASAP so it's going to be a revolving door until the last C Series is delivered
