Which Plane to Bid For?
Was wondering if any of you would mind offering your opinion on which plane to bid as a new hire(737, Bus, 717). Hoping to get Detroit as soon as I can and wondering about the quality of trips and available GS flying.
Many thanks!
Many thanks!

if you want DTW I would do 717, 320, 737 in that order. Lots of green slips on the 717 can’t speak for the other 2 airframes

717. Then again, with current movement, it’s not going to take long to get to DTW on any of them.

I’d suggest 717, 73N, 320 order for best seniority the fastest. 717 will almost certainly lead to better seniority the soonest, but 73N/320 have better pay from year 2 and likely better trip quality. The 320 to 330 career path is very popular now given our aircraft order book, but that seems to be skewing the 320 more and more senior. I tend to prefer the contraction path for better seniority, but YMMV.

A320. Airbus has the most technologically advanced aircraft the 80s would allow.
