There are more 737s (a lot more), so there is always the potential that a ORD 737 would show up before the Bus, but in this current vacancy, there are about the same amount on both. Movement on either fleet is about the same. Sometimes your seniority will be be better on the bus, sometimes on the 737.

In this case, I'd definitely take the airplane over location. You can switch bases whenever there are openings on a vacancy bid (about once a month right now), but you'd have to serve out your 2 year seat lock to switch from 320 FO to 737 FO.

I would bid 737 anywere and then wait. The 737 base is almost 2x the size of the 320 base at ORD.

Works great! A well oiled machine. BUT, our new contract prohibits base trades for anyone that’s junior to the most junior AWARDED position. Big change! Not really a NB issue. But WB…🙄I’m a 10th year FO and it’s amazing how hard it is to get into that base. I’ll reattempt this spring.
