Gabu 1234 seems to believe it's his turn to fly the wide-bodies.

In my observation, very few of the Indian pilots wish to be away from home for more than a few hours. After more than 2 years of operation, only a very few have crossed the North Atlantic or Pacific.

This is mostly a status matter so they can boast of flying large aeroplanes.

Of the pilots dismissed by Jet Airways, one captain (with a small c) spent most of his 777 flight deck time fast asleep having ensured that as many windows as possible were blocked out by charts and newspapers. His waking hours were not much more impressive, although they were spent impressing the cabin crew in the galley areas.
