Hi! I see many perspectives here and I must say that most of the people here are crazy for the shiney jets which I quite understand BUT here's mine: I spent 9 years in the right seat with my present company on the 737 CL and NG and I really enjoyed the most of it.With current future lookouts in Europe it would have been another 6 years to swap seats so I was really happy to take on the TP command when it was offered and never regretted it.If you stuck in the right seat for whatever reason after a while you loose interest and ambition and it is hard to recover from that situation. All I can say is that one of my well respected instructor said that is better be a cpt on a TP than an FO on the space shuttle.
cheers
