If possible, I'd love to hear pros and cons about the A320 vs. B737.
I'm trying to gather as much info as I can, so that I can make a somewhat educated decision the first day of class. Thank you for your help!

EWR 737 has great trips with a lot of nice Caribbean layovers. Without actually looking at the data, I would guess better seniority progression on 737 (Although that is ALWAYS subject to change). My impression is that a typical 737 pairing has typically longer legs with fewer legs per day. (Again this is just my basic anecdotal observations, may not be technically true).... But the Airbus is a much more comfortable aircraft for pilots. Lots of room and very quiet. The 737 flight deck is cramped and noisy.... That being said I'm on 737 and love it. Either way if you want EWR you won't have any problem on either aircraft. Congrats and welcome aboard!
