The same way it's too early to throw out blanket statements that new hires won't see a widebody for 10 years

No, not even close. The reason the 765 has gone so Junior is because of its trips. Before COVID it was uncommutable 2-days that became permanent around the time of a major cabin mod. During COVID, it took the brunt of the domestic flex.
I predict as international comes back (and domestic rotations continue to suck), you will see WB’a trend more senior. But so much is flexing over the last few years, weird things are possible.

which one has a better QOL for a NH? 320/321 versus the 737 or 757/767 group?
Eyeing to uproot family to ATL but also open to other bases as well except NYC which isn't exactly a place we want to raise our baby.

Interesting info from CR leaders at SLC base visit about planned growth and attrition.
Approx planned pilot headcount changes annually 2024-2030:
3-4% growth per year defined as ASM, with half of that coming from more seats via upgauging, other half being new departures. Specifically, planned growth of 4-5 WB jets and 15-20 NB jets per year.
Interesting to see some long range planning. With 2k+ this year, gotta assume similar in 2023.. thats a lot of hiring and career progression throughout the decade!
Approx planned pilot headcount changes annually 2024-2030:
- -600/yr attrition (500 mandatory + 100 early)
- +400/yr on 3% growth
- 1,000/yr new pilots to cover attrition and growth.
