I agree about the negligible difference with my current seniority. But by the next vacancy when I'm awarded the BUS, plus 1 year of withholding, im asking about the difference in seniority I may have then and onwards as a FO. So I was asking the difference between being top 10% on the 737 and potentially 30% on the bus.
All that aside, I agree with and much rather prefer the comfort of the bus.4 legs a day sounds less ideal and I've luckily avoided that on the 737.

Don't remove a 3P and you might get it awarded 5-10 years later. <True story. More than once.

Percentage was 48% of the 320 FO's are senior to the junior CA. On the 737 it's only 34% (all numbers +/- as I didn't subtract out the 'greenies' who bid out).
It looks like a LOT more 320 FO's will probably upgrade vs the percentage of 737 FO's in the near future. Nothing's guaranteed but your fear of being 20% worse, or 3x greater relative seniority, doesn't seem likely.
