Got the CJO recently, and am confused about the relative desirability of the various EWR equipment.
I live local to EWR, and am trying to come up with a strategy if I have the opportunity to choose between several aircraft types at EWR.
Any help with these questions would be much appreciated:

- In the photo of how the new hires chose in October, I noticed that EWR756 went higher than EWR787. I've also noticed that 777 typically goes junior. But APC shows that 777 and 787 FOs have a significantly higher pay starting in second year.
- If a new hire pilot has the option to choose between two or three WB at EWR, what are the advantages and disadvantages of each?
- I heard that new hires often prefer NB over WB because (a) relative seniority advances more quickly and (b) they avoid global reserve. What is global reserve exactly, and how is it worse than reserve that a new-hire NB FO would have?
- If a new hire decides he wants EWR NB, what are the relative merits of A320 vs 737? Does one have better trips or quicker relative seniority?

Thanks in advance for the info.

The half winger Facebook page is the best source for class numbers, drops and picks, most of the time they are posted the day of. I don't know anything about wide bodies since I'm not interested now, but everyone swears EWR 756's have the best flying in the company so I'd start there. There's probably 100 posts about global reserve the past week on a few threads on here, and plenty of info on the NB side too. 73's = ****ty cockpit with more efficient schedules and better destinations thanks to the ETOPS rating. There's more 73's so more flexibility to add/drop trips and more seniority movement. Airbuses fill in the more regional-esque flying with more legs and shorter flights per day, and the whole no shot at island destinations. 73's are typically more junior but it's pretty dang close.

If you live locally I’d bid 737, 756, 320 and 787 in that order. 320 has some of the worst flying in the system but as a new hire it’s better than being bunkie on every trip. You will always have the ability to bid up to787/777 in the future… take the NBs/756 and enjoy flying an airplane rather than dozing for dollars in the JS. Welcome aboard.

How often does a new seniority list drop so we can see who the most junior guy is on a fleet in a specific base?

You can look daily on seniority under reports.
