73 v A320
Forgive me if this is posted elsewhere, I didn’t see it, but what is your take on NH choosing 73 v A320 in terms of QOL, trips, and seniority progression? It seems the 321
NEO/XLR trips will go senior? All things being equal, which one will offer the most schedule flexibility the fastest? Thanks!

38 unfilled 737 Captains vacancies on the last snap, no unfilled on the Bus.
True the 737 has better flying, is a bigger fleet and has more growth but reserve rules can not be the only reason for the unfilled slots because the Bus also has reserve on the coasts.

To his question, though, the notion that really unproductive 321 3-days will go really senior might hold true for some time, but the allure of 90-hr LHR lines with min days off probably will wear off after a while.

New hires today don’t need to be worried about the 321’s and Trans-Atlantic flying. You’ve still got a long time before even the first gets delivered. Then, it’s not like they’ll all just show up at once, they’ll get delivered over months/years.
Every plane that gets delivered will start on domestic proving runs.
At a minimum, every CA will need to do a supervised Atlantic leg before being qualified.
That means LCAs will need to get qualified first.
They’ll almost certainly fly all of the Atlantic flying out of a single base (DCA since it’s smaller?) at first.
My point is: It will be a long road before FO bidding on the Airbus is affected by that flying in a “normal” way.
