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

Figure since there are new hires watching here it’s as good a place as any to ask. Can someone please explain how Global Reserve works? Only ever been on NB here thinking of 756 or 777 and also with the 73 and eventually 321s every fleet will have to understand it. I understand the 6 Hard days off (HDOs) can’t be touched. But can they only move your RDOs to potentially cover a global trip? If they move your days and a EWR-SFO 2-day pops up can they use a person who’s days were rolled for that or only a trip that meet the definition of global?
If you get days rolled do you just get a call or message from crew scheduling telling you you’re now on long call starting Day xx for a specified block of days? Thanks
How often have folks been seeing days rolled? please specify base/equipment
