It’s generally advised to go NB first so you can see what you’re getting yourself into and then move up. You can always move up in bands, but you can’t move down for two years, so if you start on 777 you can’t go to 737 unless it’s an upgrade.

You will be on reserve on both fleets in those bases until your seat lock is up and you can bid down.

Domestic transcons frequently have a red eye but the 756 also does MCO turns from EWR. 777 does more deep Europe than 756. DCA 777 has a daily daytime SFO 2 day…that’s probably a good bet for a reserve as well…but nits day flying.

To me, the Airbus isn’t the worst case scenario
