For a new hire who lives in Dallas:
1. which aircraft provides the new-hire rookie with the most actual flying and time building ? aka "not sit around" syndrome
2. which one has more overnights, versus less
3. any chance of a new-hire or junior-ish hire to work hard all day but spend every night back home back in base (DFW)
4. Which one has more opportunities, aka Check Airman possibilities, extra curricular work, etc.
Thank You

2.same
3. No.
4. Doesn't matter you are an FO. FOs can upgrade to any aircraft. The answer to this question may change drastically from now until you are ready to upgrade. I wouldn't worry about this until then. Both should have a reasonable amount of opportunities but one may have a slightly better outlook when you are ready.

Your room will be single occupancy.

As far as extracurricular work, as an FO, there's a few things you can do. LOSA pays well, other than that, the other things you can do is recruitment, CPO office, safety department analyst, fleet program manager (not likely though, unless a vacancy opens up and you have a strong resume) or union volunteer. You cannot work on the training dep or become a check airman until you upgrade.

I will piggyback on this and 2nd the LOSA program. I don't know why more FOs don't join this program. You make good money for an easy job. sometimes easier and more convenient then picking up OT. Plus it is something to pad your resume with.
