New hire here. Just curious about the prospect of WBFO in a future vacancy bid. I know year 1 pay is the same among all fleets, but is there any opportunity to make more $ on WB fleets through open time than NB fleets? 756 included? Just curious if there would be any argument to be made on bidding one of these fleets year 1, if I’d even be able to hold it

potentially longer, after the contract. It has been going far senior to what it used to be due to improved reserve rule requirements and pay increases.
Not to say that you won't get a job as a WB FO but the likelihood of doing that by year 2 is near zero.

You will not get a WB FO position in under 3-5 years,
potentially longer, after the contract. It has been going far senior to what it used to be due to improved reserve rule requirements and pay increases.

As far as money goes, you’ll have a better chance on NB fleets early on. There’s way more open time, way more pairing falling apart, and way more options to trade. 756 fleets can make good money but the seniority growth is basically stagnant to negative. Not many opportunities to get your foot in the door there and even then the non 764 fleets pay pretty close to the other narrow bodies.
