I've heard senior Delta guys would just rather be senior wide body FO rather than narrow body captain...however United has so many more wide bodies you would think that captain would go just as junior there.

If you say the reason is the 717/88...I understand that is part of it; however just recently NYC 320A went very junior for Delta as well (about 2 years if I'm correct). So why would United EWR 320 be so much more senior?
