2 straight drops with 330B's available. Would anyone be able to give some of the pros and cons of the 330 v the 73/320 for a new hire, aside from the obvious such as longer upgrade times and slower seniority movement? My end goal is MSP base so those 3 fleets would be the only ones I would be interested in out of indoc.

But if you don’t mind commuting for 2 years to get it out of your system and then bidding NB, then it’s worth it.
and since the 330 has a MSP base you won’t be breaking seat lock early

If MSP is your goal asap, don’t bid the 330 as a NH. 320 & 73N are about equal seniority in MSP, about 6-9 months after hiring.
Check out widgetseniority.com. It’s free for prospective and new hires.

For me personally, NB in base > WB commute. I know many who don’t agree, I just hate commuting. Take 320 now and it’ll be an easy swap to 330 MSP when the time comes, and if you really have an itch for WB, you can bid 330 NYC when your lock is up with better seniority.

When you look at the cockpit the Airbus wins. When you look at the bid packages the 737 wins (in NYC.)
You will work harder but be more comfortable on the 320 (more legs/day.) You will be less comfortable but enjoy transcons and the occasional all-inclusive beach layover on the 737. Pick your poison.

From: LAX ER
The last AE had openings and it was awarded just over a 10,000 number. It’s finally hit 5 digit numbers. By his conversion though he will be back in high 9k’s. That AE also had 15 openings. With the 330 growth coming it should continue to stay in that range. That’s about 4-5 years.
