Are they usually night flying (commutable) trips and can you fly as efficiently as you can on the 737? Usually 73 gets 85 hour lines for the junior guys with tons of available open trips. How about the 75/76? Also the 75/76 will have single legs with long layover, so can't see it being as efficient. And how much of the flying is actually redeye? Thanks,

You can bid up anytime, but not back until after the lock.
The 757 is bidding up because its the 756 (add the 757-300 and 767's) and it's considered "up". Sure, you may never fly the higher paying airframes if you are junior, but it's still bidding up.
As for ripping uniforms in the little 737...? I've spent some time on it and I've never ripped a uniform nor has anyone I've flown with. No, I'm not a "little person", I'm an average sized male.
