They seem to be making IAH a mega base for the 737 since people won’t bid captain on the coast. For that reason alone, the 737 would probably have a better chance of a vacancy, but 320 vacancies aren’t rare either. The 737 in IAH is a much larger base than the 320. The current vacancy is staffing 737 FO at 497 and 320 at 142 pilots. The 737 will provide more varied flying, and far more pairings to build a schedule once you’re a line holder. The 320 is a much more comfortable place to work. Good luck picking your poison and welcome to the company.
