Year 1 you will be junior in both, so the Airbus pay would be better. After year one and from then on your QOL will be much better on the 757. You won't have widebody pay, but you have to decide what you want. If you don't live in MEM, sitting reserve sucks, IMO.

How long do you want to stay very junior?

If commuting, seniority will mean more than paycheck. In general, once you go to a widebody, your progression up the ladder slows down or even stagnates. Probably gain more seniority on the 757, especially as we grow the fleet in the next 3 yrs. Being jr and commuting to ANC can be tough. There are openings in HKG and CGN, depends on the family situation. Good luck, welcome to FDX !!

The BidX software is a nice tool to determine what kind of life you would have in the various airplanes/domiciles. Once you purchase it, you can download as many bidpacks as you want and it allows you to show only lines your seniority would allow you to hold.
