as mentioned so many times before... QA will place you where they need you at the time, preference is given to type rating and experience of course, but the placement all others will be at the mercy of timing, and if you think that asking for a particular fleet might be the thing to do.. guess again. in some cases that will buy you a seat near the exit door if nothing else.
