Please excuse my ingorance but could someone please clarify why “widebody” time is so sought after? Is it really that much different than medium haul narrow body time? What is the major difference from being a B737 captain and a B777, A380 or B787 captain? Is the decision making process harder for widebody aircraft? Is a widebody harder to fly?
I’ve always wondered why an experienced B737 or A320 captain can’t easily go DEC on a widebody.
