Specific aircraft spots won’t be unlimited. Just the vacancies in the bases for those spots. So, the whole class couldn’t choose the 320 if they wanted.
For example, this past class had 21 total A320 vacancies. Bases were:
EWR - Unlimited
IAH - Unlimited
SFO - Up to 21
LAX - Up to 8
ORD - Up to 9
In this case, there are only 21 total 320 spots to fill. If you’re #22 in class and the first 21 people pick the 320, you’re out of luck if that’s the plane you wanted. However, of those 21 spots there are no restrictions as to how many can end up in EWR or IAH. If all 21 people who were awarded the 320 recently fell, hit their head, and accidentally chose EWR as their base of choice, then the remaining spots in the other bases will simply go unfilled.

Did you get an email back when you submitted your application? I'm assuming it was on the Pilot Hiring United site as well. I submitted back in March and haven't heard anything, wondering if I'm the odd one out. I've updated my app every month or so and still crickets...?

Also, have you had your application reviewed? That could help depending on your stats. It's not entirely necessary, as I was successful without paying someone to do it, but I did spend a lot of time poring over my application and making sure everything was polished. And by polished, I mean things like the format of phone numbers in your work history are consistent( (123)456-7890 vs. 123-456-7890 vs. 123 456 7890), as one example. I had a fairly long work history to write up and I just copied and pasted the number from google, but that wasn't consistent for every result. It's a lot of data to input, so I just threw it all in and spent some time here and there going back over it to make sure there were no mistakes. I did find small mistakes here and there so it's worth doing.
Also, make sure to periodically update your flight time in the app, and make sure to update your rolling flight time in the past 12 months. My understanding is they like to see updates because that shows consistent interest (though I could be wrong).
Good luck!

I believe there is an automatic email when you submit your application that comes with a code and a link to update your application as needed. If you haven't received an email, odds are you didn't tick all the boxes, because you should have.
