From what I here the 73 will be best for seniority, but may work a little harder. I understand the 320 trips are a little more inefficient (which is fine I like layovers). Anything else to factor into the aircraft decision?
Hate to break it to ya....
Summers are rough on reserves. Winters things calm down tremendously.
General summary of the two planes:
737 has better destinations but you pay for it by having to fly the POS
Bus is a better ride but you get to enjoy Rochester.
Actually both have ok flying but the 737 has the island overnights which are nice. Either plane will not seat lock you from bidding up to the 757 at your earliest convenience.
