I can understand the ever going discussion about shorthaul vs. longhaul. Personally I think ego has a lot to do about it, but hey what do I know!
What I cannot understand is the term 'wide-body experience'.
Why would a corporate Gulfstream V PIC not be 'able' to apply for a 777 captaincy?
Is it because of the longer wings?
Is it the pressure to please more women in the back?
Heavier usually flies easier so...
What is this so called wide-body experience?
