Bid NB anywhere before 756 to get EWR. You’ll be stuck for 2 years. Get a NB and you will be able to lateral move to EWR for either the 73 or bus during the next vacancy and you will have much better control of your schedule quicker. When you are senior enough to hold a line, think 75 maybe 80 percent, then bid the 756 if that tickles your fancy and enjoy the one-leg and done transcons, touring all the main bases in the lower 48 with occasional Europe. But 73 out of EWR is a great way to learn the system and everything you’ll do after will be easier. AND…the 737 out of Newark isn’t hard.
