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.
When you look at the cockpit the Airbus wins. When you look at the bid packages the 737 wins (in NYC.)
You will work harder but be more comfortable on the 320 (more legs/day.) You will be less comfortable but enjoy transcons and the occasional all-inclusive beach layover on the 737. Pick your poison.
