Having flown both planes, it’s a much harder day at work on the 190.

Yes, but at least it pays way less.

I chose the 190 for many of those reasons and haven't been disappointed..but with the 220s coming its hard to say long term how things will play out. Otoh, I hear reserve on the 320 isn't so bad these days (for local folks). So if you're local (and want to minimize training cycles)...maybe something to consider (if you end up having a choice)

Ehh it depends. If you live in base and can work the system a little bit, there’s a ton of soft-time to be had on the 190. Just the nature of the flying it does, with work rules more aligned with the Airbus. I can usually reduce my block each month to around 50-60 hours. Lots of 1 and 2 leg days like the Airbus.
