I have been moving backwards on the EWR 756 since I was hired a bit over a year ago. Still on reserve with a line getting slightly further away every month. I live an hour away from EWR so long call and short call are no big deal for me. Most of the 756 flying is commutable on both sides if you are planning on commuting. The 737 and A320 is not that way. I'm not a fan of our global reserve rules namely RDO days. I love the airplane and the flying! I wish I had a line, but when my 2 year seat lock is up, no way am I bidding over to the 737 or airbus, even to be a line holder. I love the flying and the destinations too much to go back to multiple leg days similar to the brutal regional flying I left a year ago.

Most 756 trips out of EWR are 2 day domestic and 3 day Europe trips with the occasional 1, 4 and 5 day in there. These are what I have been seeing in open time over the last year anyway. I'm not sure if this is representative of all the trips being built into lines though since I haven't gotten a line yet. As far as the 73 goes, my wife seems to get mostly 3 and 4 day trips with the occasional 2 day. Her trips seem to usually have early shows.

Don't count on it for either airplane. Our class had ranges from 5 to almost 30 days wait on both airplanes. 737 seemed a little longer but not that much and this stuff changes weekly here.

how did they determine who went to say 737 training first and who went last? Was it based on the domicile you get or seniority? Or was it just on a volunteer basis (request sheet). I personally wouldn't mind a longer break between indoc and the start of training if given the option. But i could certainly understand some new hires desire to start training as quickly as possible.
