Thank you for the information, it does help. And the end of your comment leads me to my next big question:
What about commuting to LCR as a WB FO? That's actually what I was most interested in (commuting AUS to EWR or SFO), and now I'm very curious if that might be a little better than what I'm hearing about commuting to LCR in general.

The answer is always Narrowbody, and most of the time 737. I know that’s not what people want to hear but generally speaking it’s the fastest movement while still allowing you to move up if some other equipment meets your personal threshold for seniority

true… they increase your reserve MPG by 1 hour for each after the first two… same end result of 1 hour of extra pay. Yep… lots of disappointed pilots very soon.

actually, it’s not the same. I once had the extra hour of MPG, but then I broke guarantee, so it’s like I ended up doing that hour for free. If it were add pay, I’d still have gotten paid.

AUS is a 2.5hr drive to IAH… bid one of the 200 unfilled narrowbody vacancies in IAH, drive to work then bid 756/777/787 when a vacancy opens for them. Really wouldn’t recommend a commute half way across the country. That’s like practicing bleeding. First year pay will be more on the narrowbody anyways because you can fly more if you can hold a line. Pay difference for widebody doesn’t start kicking in until 2nd year.
Any idea how long it might take to hold 777 or 787 FO at IAH? (Sorry if that's already posted somewhere, my head's spinning from how much I've been scouring the forums lately.)

On the current vacancy, one year seniority will get you to the very bottom of IAH 777/787 FO. Could always change in the future, obviously.
