You will work 18 days per month either flying, short call or field standby. A huge portion of the junior flying has late night all nighters to Europe. LHR is typically the most junior trip but reserves are getting other destinations as well like the unaugmented trips to EDI DUB. 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.
You will be on reserve on both fleets in those bases until your seat lock is up and you can bid down.

I'd say the 777. Flying is better, in my opinion, vs the 787 for the junior folks and it should be available as it has gone unfilled fairly recently. The 756 is an option too and while our flying isn't as great as EWR, DCA 756 is still pretty good.

Yes, your seniority and flexibility will improve quicker with a NB. QoL is really a personal preference. Some don’t mind WB reserve if you live in base

I am not oppose to the Airbus. I am just trying to get the information I need and preparing for worst case scenario. From the general consensus I’ve gathered and please correct me if I am wrong. Do not hesitate to send me a PM either. The bus is a great plane overall, but the trip quality on that side isn’t great. I know NEOs coming onto property will change that. However, that is way down the road.
To me, the Airbus isn’t the worst case scenario
