If you can pass 2000 before you join then (from what I have seen) it is almost certain you get sent to the B777 fleet.

You are being played with Shafey, don't take the bait.
It is extremely likely you will end up on the A320.

Everything is possible.
A lot of 320 rated pilots have joined QR straight on 330
Even pilots without any jet experience have joined the 330 fleet straight!

Totally depends on requirements when you join (and in some cases just after you join!) I had 3500 hours and got A320... A colleague joined with 1700 and got 777.
They are 'trying' to put all new starters on the 320 to standardise fleet progession, BUT it's not 100% obviously.
Anyway, as tiring as the 320 roster is for a few days every month, it has a great network, layovers and earlier upgrade possibilities.
Get here and get what you're given, try to enjoy it and you will find it a very rewarding place to be.

Does that mean that if you apply for A320 FO, or 777FO or whatever, you are just applying for an FO position and not necessarily applying for a specific fleet?

I am not playing with anyone just for the record. Rather amazingly I did manage to extract a very tiny amount of useful information from all the bullshine on this thread before I joined QR.
So my only intention is to give a little back from my own experience.

When I joined - within the last 18 months - all the ones with experience on 320 and 737 over 2000 hours went to the B777. Simple.
All the ones with regional jet experience to the 320.
All the cadets to the 330.
