Yes the bus is the new regional, except for that you’ll fly more legs than the regional trips, rarely just 1, 4 more than you’d think, and the layovers are shorter. But, most of the bus pilots love efficiency and don’t care where they go, so as long as you go into it with that knowledge, great! If you prefer longer layovers and do care where you go do the 756 or 737. Bus has the least red eyes and the least international flights so that is a really big perk to a lot of pilots. If you like domestic routes, repetition, predictable schedules and usually quick increase in seniority, the bus is for you. 737 seniority will go up as fast though, but on the 737 you’ll have more trip variety options.
