Yes that is true. I belive Emirates hired fresh pilots to do this as well. Of course you get to fly to exotic destinations and get layovers for a day or so so you get to travel. You earn well and you donīt do much. You spend your time sleeping or whatching IFE etc. But it isnīt fun!
How fun is it to just sit in the cockpit of the 747 at cruise level and talk to atc and keeping hold on figures? Of course that is fun when you get to fly all the way but these pilots never get to fly the plane manually. The donīt know how its like to fly her allmoast.
So I would prefer to fly the 737 and get to take her up and land her 3-6 times a day.
