Would it be better if he went straight on to a narrow body?
Surely the only thing that usually forces this is seniority.
If an airline only flies wide bodies, and needs drivers then why not?

As already mentioned, they are much more stable to fly and the (generally) longer sectors allow for a much less stressed training environment!
