Delta has gone Airbus, United is 50/50 on replacing the older 777s with A350-1000 and American is also leaning Airbus (except for the 300ERs)
Why do you think your 777 experience would work against you? You’ll be hired and trained on whatever fleet your seniority can hold. That’ll usually be a narrowbody. When you’re senior enough to hold a widebody, you can bid any one. Your previous experience will neither hurt nor help you once you’ve passed the interview.
