Can you narrow down your geographic preference?
Also be aware that while junior (new hire) widebody opportunities do exist, the QOL probably isn't going to be too great until you get some seniority. Also might want to consider how seniority is selected in new-hire class at the various legacies... if it's by age, you're going to be flying a guppy initially. DL for example is SSN last four (higher is better). Seems like legacy new-hires have a variety of options if senior in their class.
Thanks for the reply, QOL definitely trumps airframe/route so I’d definitely opt for a better schedule in whatever airframe I can get! Also I do love the mountain west (SLC, DEN, etc.)
My lack of knowledge of the majors is probably like nails on a chalkboard to most of the people on this forum.
