Default 73 vs Airbus...Schedules Only!

First, this is not a d!ck measuring contest between the 73 folks and the Airbus folks as to which airplane is better.

I'm curious as to the difference in schedules between the two. I realize it depends on seniority and domicile but looking for generalities leaning more toward the junior folk. Does one have less slash trips than the other? Does one have more commutable lines? Is one typically easier to drop/pick up trips?

From what I can tell from looking at the APA PBS Awards, the 73 seems to offer a slightly better schedule sooner with regard to line value, trip quality, and shorter timeline to line holder. I also realize that this doesn't tell the whole story.

My ultimate goal is to get to either ORD or CLT for long-term commutability as we are not willing to move to a base and I'm trying to determine the best path to take. I care more about QOL (max pay with max days off) over the flying destinations and the "fun" flying. At least for now.

Thanks!
