Pretty crazy to me how much more jr CLT320CA has become compared to 737CA.

I think that is the same aberration that briefly made CLT 320 FO junior to the 737 and will correct itself in a few more vacancy bids. It is interesting though and for sure the 737 has better trips out of CLT currently. If you don't like 3-4 leg days and short overnights it is not a nice base to be junior in.

320 is adding more staffing than 737, which is essentially stagnant at this point.

I’m never done 4 legs out of Boston and rarely 3, and I’m fairly junior. Most overnights have been 12.5 to 14.

Big Hang Up here is very few two end commutables and a lot of <9:00am shows.

YMMV.

I was casually looking at changing bases and seeing what I could hold, and BOS had the most days off. 18 hour 3-days and 25-hour 4-days. But, when looking at it, their trips all start early and end late as it's an outstation base. So, pick your poison I guess.

I’m looking at either PHX or LAX. Where is a good place to find info on what type of flying the A320 does vs the 73? I’d like to stay in the Bus but if the flying is better on the 73 I might go that route.

So if the 737 is stagnant what’s the best plan for someone wanting to get into DFW as fast as possible? I’ve been told the 737 since it’s the more junior airplane, but could one get into a situation where the bus keeps growing in DFW but not the 73?
