...however 777 cmd slots are only being offered to 777 FOs?
To reduce training costs, I expect.
A simple solution to a vexing problem.
In addition, having the first airplane on which a command is offered...being a junior fleet...is nothing new.
TWA did this many years ago.
No matter how senior you were, the first command
had to be on the 727...no exceptions.
After two years, a bid to a more senior airplane was allowed
