There's a good chance you might get the 787! But there's also a great chance you'll hit a single or double digit seniority number at the end of your career too.

That’s what I want! For ORD. All the recent drops I’ve seen have been 777 for the bottom of the group

As a newhire on a widebody, you probably won't get 500 hours a year. I'm not on one, so I can't say for sure, but odds are you might get a couple hundred hours a year.
