Are there any significant differences in the flying between the 737 and the 320 in ORD? Trying to make a potential decision between the two, there are pros and cons to both.

The flying between the 737 and 320 aren’t really that different across most bases. The 320 is a more modern and comfortable cockpit, but the 737 is a much larger fleet and provides more opportunities to build a desirable line. The 737 goes to a few more places like the islands, but for the most part both fleets cover the same ground. Senior trips are pretty good, junior trips aren’t. The 737 is definitely the growth fleet, but as the 321XLR shows up there will be some growth on the bus side and they will begin to go more places that the current 320 fleet can’t. Just determine where your emphasis is. Do you care what you fly, or are you more concerned with bidding options?

How senior is Cleveland these days? Obviously I'm still early in the process and don't have a choice yet but I have a class date at American and also have an invite to take the United leadership assessment. Id love to come to United for the Cleveland domicile.

Hasn't been given out to New Hires (yet), but on the last vacancy bid pilots in New Hire class were able to get a lateral to CLE. So, could get there very very quickly if you got a 737 FO assignment as a New Hire.
