You can get split lines on the 767 as a pretty junior FO. Those run 10 on, 6 off, 7 on, 7 off, or close to it.
Also, where's home? Where you live plays a role in what fleet you may want to go after. ONT 767 works well for west coast folk.

I don't know about 737 stuff.
Expect lots of American miles as you fly to work.

Seat locks do not apply when bidding for your first Captain position with the company. If you spend 18 months in the 747, then go to the 767(“downgrade”) you would have a 36 month seat lock…but if you could hold Captain, in any fleet, in, say, 18 months…you would be awarded that bid.

I could be wrong, though…it wouldn’t be the first time…not even the first time today. I’ll see if I can dig up the TA’d sections info.

CRJJ called me out on some of my numbers, so I had to dig up the documents and pull the correct numbers. I pulled them from memory on my first post…I’m not sure if they have changed in the past couple years since I remember hearing that from a negotiator or if I’m remembering incorrectly.
24 month seat lock for new hires.
18 month seat lock for bids that are on higher paying equipment.
30 month seat lock for bids on same paying or lower paying equipment.
Upgrade from FO to Captain voids all seat locks and can be done anytime, to/from any aircraft.
Sorry about the initial misinformation.
