I agree and would consider the 757 if it is there; take the seniority. It’s a marathon not a sprint.
I’m a civilian Regional/LCC guy as well and can appreciate the desire to see the west coast, but the west coast will be there in a few years. Further, and as mentioned, the 75 has some west coast. The bid pack domestically is better on the 76 and MD when compared to the 757, but living in base will allow a lot of flexibility with the seniority gain of the 757.
I would take the seniority also and figure out what you like. The Bus and MD aren’t going anywhere soon, matter of fact, they may start going more and more junior and could be a good place to go and keep some seniority on a later bid. While, I don’t by into the doom and gloom, you never when things are going to slow.
Plus, the 757 is a blast to fly and I always had a lot of fun on the weekend layovers while on the 727/757.
