Randy,
Having flown both airplanes at USAirways, I can tell you that both the 767 and the A320 will make you more marketable. I do not think there is a wrong choice on either.
The 767 is going to give you both wide body experience and international background. This is very attractive to recruiters
The A320 is going to give you a background in an aircraft that is WIDELY USED through out the world. Almost as much so as the 737. And the 320 gives you exposure to the Airbus design which carries into the 330 as well.
The other upside to the A320 is that you will not have to commute to LAX. But that is a minor point.
Cheers,
Walt
