Some NB trips have become 4-leg, 12 hour overnights for 4-5 days straight with a red eye in the middle to a 10 hour day layover so it’s either RJ-style trips with a mid rotation red eye or wide bodies, relaxing, one and done kind of trips.

Unless our pilot group is completely nuts, I’d bet wide bodies will be going to 4+ year pilots on this next AE so basically the question shouldn’t be “WB vs NB FO”, it should be “NB FO vs NB CA” for new hire openings. This is all just my opinion.
