Right now reserve on the 737 is kinda slow, unless there is a bad weather day. I get 12 days off and have done personal dropping (no pay if you do that), however, at our pay it only costs about $80 to drop a day. With a wife that 8 months pregnant, an extra day at home is worth more than $80.
As others have said, 737 is slave labor, 756 is a good mix, and the 777 is going way junior because the trips for junior pilots suck (LGW, CDG, TLV, DEL). As far as commuting goes, anyway you slice it commuting sucks! It seems most of the 737 trips for junior folks are not commuteable except for maybe 1 end. 756 trips, mostly to Europe, are mostly commuteable and thus the reason I am jumping over to the 756 on the next bid.
Cheers
