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

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

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.
