That answer is almost always going to be the 73. Not just because the overall cockpit ****tiness encourages folks to leave to fly something else thus improving seniority movement, and we're buying far more 73's than airbuses, but the 73 bases are much bigger so trades are much more likely to happen. So even if you can't bid a certain day off, you have a hundred or so more pilots who might want to take that trip off your hands.
