Pros for the 320 side is a more comfortable cockpit and I've been told there's a lot of growth. There's also a possible negative transfer of learning coming from another airline on the same plane, where as the 320 I would be starting fresh with Delta.
Opinions/what would you bid for? Thanks.
Go with the 73N, trips are wayyy better than the airbus throughout the bases and seniority percentages. I went A320 -> DAL A320 and it was a little confusing to change my flows, but at the end of the day it was way easier to transition already knowing the airplane. It lets you focus on the DAL “script”. 73NA remains pretty junior in NYC and ATL so you’ll be able to upgrade on a plane you have experience on if you so desire.
