I would say it depends on your background and commuter status. If you have made a career doing 4-6 legs at a regional you will learn some doing NB flying at United but it’s still just doing lots of up/down flying. WB is a different animal entirely. If you are commuting…WB reserve is no bueno so get a NB line and camp out there until you are senior enough to hold either the WB FO or NB Capt line that floats your canoe.
