CLT is generally pretty senior for FO’s but it does ebb and flow. Generally, the 320 is your best bet there because it is a large bid status. You will likely hold CLT within about 1 to 2 years, as an FO, though it has gone to new hires in the past (like 7 years ago past). CA will likely be 6 to 9 years, but probably will drop by the time you get to that point. If you live in CLT, then AA is a no brainer for you. It’s our second largest hub, are you a regional pilot, corporate, or military?

These thing change constantly though, and I wouldn’t worry about it in your decision matrix.
Im still a student, trying to see whats out there. I know its pretty far out, but Im curious and i figure it cant hurt to ask. Thanks for the help, much appreciated

Would life on the 320 be much different from 737?

You don’t want my opinion on 73 vs 320. The smart people clearly choose one over the other.

I realize the challenges for flying one over the other.

Speaking purely from a QOL/schedule/reserve/pairings perspective.

You should have a great answer to this question in about 2-3 hours when the vacancy awards are posted.
