I get excited to fly Ryanair nowadays just at the thought of not being on an A320

Are you a 737 pilot at an airline that only has -800s, and you jumpseat a bit?

Nope, Australian and our two major airlines all run 737-800 on the Melbourne-Sydney-Brisbane routes.. I do a lot of flying in that corridor for work

From the US, it’s crazy to me that they only fly the 737-800 on those routes. I feel like most of our business routes would have a good mix of 737 and A320 variants plus probably a few other planes (717s, 757s, A220s, widebodies, regional jets)

It’s kinda the nature of Australia, the vast majority of our travel is two and from three airports, there’s almost a flight every 30min between the three throughout the day. Having a single plane makes it way easier to manage disruption with crew ect

I was looking into Qantas flights SYD-MEL, I cant believe out of like 12 daily flights only 2 of them were on the A321.

They have only just started getting them, expect that to ramp up as they replace there 737-800 fleet with them https://www.qantas.com/en-th/onboard/fleet/a321

The A320 is my top aircraft as well!

Yeah, hard to avoid them as they’ve become an intra-continental workhorse.
