Default NY 737 vs 756

Hey guys
Just got an interview call. If all goes well, going to have some crucial decisions to make.
Already have a CJO at Delta, waiting on class date... but UA is no. 1 choice due to more potential seniority and eventually flying heavies. Already asked some of this in Delta forum but want to compare the specifics here. Here's my situation-
- Live in NJ. EWR is 45 minutes drive, LGA about 1.5 hour and JFK 2-3 hours.
- Looking for best fleet for QOL and picking premium trips.
- Also interested in flying the 756 before they retire, if it's practical.

737 questions-
- Movement looks great on the 737. What's reserve like on it? Good opportunities for picking open time trips?
- How are trips split between the 3 airports? Mostly EWR?

​​​​​​756 Questions-
- What's the retirement plan like for the fleet?
- Reserve experience? Open time picks?
- Mostly international out of EWR? Or decent amount of domestic as well?
- Do new hires get stuck being the relief pilot for a while or get decent amount of hands on flying?
- How long to hold a line?

General-
- Do you get parking provided at all 3 airports?
- How does short call reserve work for 3 airports? Jave to be able to reach any of them in 2 hours or just the 1 closest to you and "do your best" for the other? Hope that makes sense.

Any other good/bad about these fleets specific to NY?
Appreciate the info!!
