4. Doesn't matter you are an FO. FOs can upgrade to any aircraft. The answer to this question may change drastically from now until you are ready to upgrade. I wouldn't worry about this until then. Both should have a reasonable amount of opportunities but one may have a slightly better outlook when you are ready.
As far as extracurricular work, as an FO, there's a few things you can do. LOSA pays well, other than that, the other things you can do is recruitment, CPO office, safety department analyst, fleet program manager (not likely though, unless a vacancy opens up and you have a strong resume) or union volunteer. You cannot work on the training dep or become a check airman until you upgrade.
