2 years - unless you move up to 777/787 (unlikely but it's happened IIRC a few years ago). so... 2 years for lateral and "downward" moves. IMO it's a great aircraft and mission even if you're more jr.

I see quite a few coming through 737 training after they get paroled from their 2 years on the 756.

You won’t move up the list, so plan on being reserve for a long time. If you have a burning desire to go to Europe and do “back side of the clock” flying and will live in base, then maybe you could adjust. Just as a comparison, I’m in my 6th year in EWR. If I were on the 756, I’d be about 60%. Definitely a line holder, but not very good trips. Im on the Bus and 8% in base and get whatever I want. Choose wisely my friend.

Interesting because the United FB page said there were a couple 73s to EWR which were added.

This is confirmed. They fixed it at the last moment when one of the early bidders asked why the spreadsheet was different than the dry erase board. The error was quickly blamed on an intern...

22 EWR 756
6 SFO 756
10 SFO 320
7 SFO 737
10 EWR 737

Must Fill
22-756
9-320
6-737

Top 6 were all 737
7-12 were 320s
18-38 were all 756

He was my 72 training partner. Great guy. We were both out flying our IOE trip when the vacancy bid was awarded. BAM! 74! But it was ORD. He lived like 4 train stops from the airport. He made waaayyy more then me on probation! Of course I was mil-leaving some too...but still...big pay diff!
