In May they’ll even out with 11% movement on the bus, as to only 3% on the 737. 320 has ~180 pilots, whereas the 737 has ~430 pilots. I’m 99.9% sure they’ll offer both 320/737 EWR for your class, as there’s still a bunch of vacancies in each. Honestly, there’s so much movement right now due to the 787 coming to EWR that seniority is a moving target.

I think you’ll see the most growth and movement on the 737, as that’s where most of the a/c orders are, but that’s just based on the last 3 months and next 3 months. There are a bunch of ex-EasyJet Buses incoming though, but not near the same scale as the Max orders. 737 has more night-time redeye flying. Bus has more trips out of LGA, only by a few percentage points though. I can’t speak to the flying on the 737, but the Bus is a very comfy aircraft to fly. You’ll fly anywhere between 1-4 legs a day. Trips range anywhere from an EWR-IAD turn, to an EWR-SEA transcon (which I’d personally rather fly in the front of a ‘bus than a 737). Tray table is great too.
