T-fly B757/767 co-pilots that are turning their noses up at a 737 command because they wouldn't be seen dead in such a tiny shorthaul aeroplane?
Err, no. Most I have spoke to have decided to stay on the 75/767 because they didn't want to work 4 sector days with minimum rest, 5 earlies in a row, spend their lives in taxis and hotels trying to shore-up the scheduled bases, fly knackered old dogs, up sticks and change base when they are comfortably established where they are, give up doing long-haul to some of our more attractive destinations (especially during the winter), subjecting themselves to Britannia's "Command Evaluation Exercise" and potentially poisoning their command selection while DECs on the 737 get no such check or hold out for their turn to come for command on the aircraft they have been flying for 4+ years. Everyone has their reasons for not going for a 737 command and the only time anyone has mentioned the "small aircraft syndrome" it has been in jest.
The last year and a half have been rather chaotic in Brits, things are settling down now and with the introduction of some newer airframes, better selection of basing and the increasing stability of the 737 roster (tales of flexi working opportunties are legend for last summer) perhaps this year will be the one when people do decide to make their bid.
