Not recommending that you take a 787 bid immediately, but taking a narrowbody assignment does leave you open to take a 756/777/787 whenever you desire as you wouldn't be frozen from bidding them. First year pay is the same regardless of aircraft assignment, so you would only see a financial benefit starting in year 2.
