Hi FFF
I don't think it depends on geography...my airline still flies classic 747's, with F/E's either upgrading to F/O (young) or just flying out til retirement (not so young). I started my airline career as an L1011 F/E; the job just doesn't exist anymore, sad to say, except for a few oddball exceptions (Gov, any contributions?).
An interesting aside: a F/E union is still on strike in the US; has been since the '60's, I think, when the airlines made F/E a pilot position (2nd Officer), and the F/E career was killed. Sad.
