You may not want to be on the 777. Your relative seniority on the 777 will be a lot worse than on a narrowbody (or 757/767 in the case of United).
What that means is better schedule control, AND quite likely more money than someone with similar seniority on a 777, if desired.
The work rules you’ll find at US carriers will enable you to exercise far more control over your income than you’re accustomed to. So you don’t have to be on a 777 to earn what a 777 pilot makes.
