I’m sure I’d find a way to enjoy it if/when I fly it. 737 is a blast to fly, I know it well (4500+ hrs), reliable, old school, great performer, still very hands on... like an old Chevy truck. in short, everything I love in an airplane. Almost as much fun as the old -80. Flame away

Great perspective. PM sent

Anyone here have an opinion on whether the 737 or the 320 will have more seniority movement in NYC ? I live in base and want to bid whatever will provide the best schedule flexibility. Thanks.

737LGA is a pretty solid bet on what will be the fastest moving status for quite some time.

737 is a pretty solid bet in any base of having quicker seniority progression than the bus.

Same here. I've never hated an airplane so much in my life. And it's not the things you usually hear about like leg room and the tray table. It's dam near everything.

Picked LGA/737/FO/D in indoc. Been there for 8 months. Currently in top 60% but it’s shrinking from about 250 to 200 by June. I’ll lose about 6-9% relative seniority.

That's a decent reduction. Is 320 increasing?
