SR71,

Point 1 (sharing previous commercial experience) - After years of 'cutting my teeth' on DC9, B727, B737, realised that the "White Glove Brigade" had done a good con job on us in how big time it all was. The Wide Body was infinitely EASIER to handle than the 'small stuff'.

Point 2 (is there a particular commercial path to a quick command on these types) - Join an airline where the smallest aircraft is a Wide Body. There are many.

Point 3 (my point, not yours) - Who cares ? Aeroplanes are aircraft are airplanes, they're ALL satisfying. Unlike in the bedroom, size does NOT make a difference.

3 cents worth today,
