Congratulations, and welcome aboard. Delta is a great place to be, and you will enjoy coming to work!

Pick the one that you want to fly based on the trips and schedule (commutability, etc), that you prefer (and that may change too). I would not bid one aircraft over another that I really preferred because it got me to ATL one or two months earlier. All will be quick, and all will be minimal time on reserve as long as hiring continues as it has been. Good luck and welcome aboard!
I know 7ER is shrinking and 73N isn't.
So I guess I'd spend more time on reserve on the 7ER compared to the 73N.
How is the reserve in LAX on both planes (QOL speaking) ?
Thank you

Every day.
Don't be scared because the glass isn't as pretty. Its not only the fastest (on average) way to ATL, its the fastest way to some seniority in ATL.
