That would definitely be a question to ask during your time with HR. Most new hires go to those fleets, but the majority are either previously typed in those aircraft or are coming to their first jet job. Coming from the left seat, you will likely be right back into it within a couple months. Overall, good experience with the company, and don't feel run down 99% of the time. There are the occasional rough days, but the good days far exceed them.
Best of luck!
