If it was me I would commute for a while and take the 320. Good luck

bid the equipment you want. Most likely you’ll be able to base swap or get a vacancy award to get back to MIA. Worst case scenario you commute a month or two. Some pilots commute their entire careers. A couple months is easy peasy.

Generally, I agree with your friends. That said, the MIA 737 flying currently sees far more variety and overnights in the Caribbean and South America than does the 320 if that kind of thing is important to you.

MIA 320 gets way more FLL flying if that matters to you. I don’t track PBI as closely.

FLL! Yassss! lol

Yeah most likely I will go with 320 PHL if no MIA slots

ooof, those class drops recently. OOOOOOOOFFFFFF!!! WeLcOmE tO aMeRiCaN

There are more Airbuses at American than 737s so you will see more slots for new-hires. Base first, equipment second. That's how you pick your 4 part status. People who have a choice of aircraft at their base are lucky and will almost always pick the Airbus for obvious reasons already discussed ad nauseam

Well, if that helps… I have a coming class in March with AA and 6.500 hours on the B737NG/MAX and I’ll pick (if possible) the Bus no matter what, even if I need to commute for a while (Live in CLT).

I’m sick of that “tuna can” called 737 and the Bus is the way to go from now.

LOL....same here my friend, same here!

11500 hours guppy time......check

Not that bad, but the crappy part is that if a class junior to you gets a better drop, you're screwed.
