For all of you that are currently at an airline. Which plane do you look forward to flying next?..Or are you content with where you are? (Adam I already know you’re living the dream, so I doubt you’ll want a change). Just a topic for discussion.
Daniel,
While not really what I think you’re asking, I’d really like to get my rotary wing add-on one of these days so I guess my answer would be an R-22 
Oh and I would really like to fly my B717 one of these days. I had a week of days off followed by a weeks vacation and have been on Reserve without getting called. Long/short I only flew 1hr (ITO turn) in the last 18 days. Hope I remember how to fly? Pull back houses get smaller right? 
Adam
The R22 would be a dream to fly around in Hawaii. I like the sound of it. And of course you beloved 717.
Whichever one gets me a job at a major!
Tory
Haha. But do you have any goal to fly a particular aircraft you look forward to at the majors.
Daniel,
I have a different perspective. I put more value on lifestyle than type of aircraft. I say that now and I have very little experience so that may change. The truth is, I won’t know until I’ve flown it.
Tory
Good thinking
I agree with the comments on quality of life, etc, but if I could fly Any one jet it would be the L-1011, if I could go even further back in time, I would love to fly a Lockheed Constellation.
I am not a professional pilot, but I hope you don’t mind me jumping in with a quick funny story about the L1011, when I was a kid we were Getting ready for a flight across the country on a TriStar, and my mother, who is terrified of flying, and knowing I was already a little airplane buff,asked me how many engines our airplane had. When I told her there were three, she got instantly pale and said “Wait, So there are two engines on one wing and one on the other?!?!”

LOL, that is a good one.
What would you like to fly in your United career after you contract is up on the A320?
I would like to go right back to the 737, which is what I intend to do.
737 is one great aircraft. That’s the goal for myself when I try to go to United. Newhires go to A320 or 737. So either will be cool to fly. Then fly a big plane. Then go back to 737. You just can’t go wrong with the 737.
If you can fly an r22, than you can pretty much fly anything(rotorcraft). Although I would say the r44 is much better to fly/hover and you would have a lot more fun.
