There’s an argument for doing 737 for a bit to learn the united system.
But setting that aside, it should be a quick move sfo>ewr/dca possibly even prior to ioe
737 is a pretty busy fleet at EWR. I can’t speak to 756, but after about 5 months on the 737 you’ll be able to get some really great trips, and a decent schedule that isn’t 85 hours unless you want it to be. Weird hearing these guys complain about not being able to trip drop, trade, pickup, etc. I do it 5-10 times a month with absolutely no issue. Part of that is fleet size at EWR, there are lots of pilots and trips in the mix, so that lends to better ability to do this.
My intent when I got here was to do the 737 for a couple years and then go to the 756. It’s been a good time, with awesome flexibility, time off, and great trips so I’ve stayed.
