Q1. No one knows that answer for sure, but we have hired more in the last few years than others. Anything else is a guess.
Q2. Bus isn’t going away. We have neos coming next year. It is a smaller fleet, though. The movement is generally the same. Some bases you are better seniority-wise on the 737 and others on the 320. As far as being able to fly it, that will all depend on how old you are and how many are offered to your class. NB tend to go more senior than WB for the reasons covered a million times in this and other threads.
