Anyone who has been LCAL with 14yrs+ service can hold Capt on A320/737.. and maybe 756. He can DEFINITELY hold FO on everything except 747 (Fenced). Even if he choose 756 FO, he'd probably be getting WideBody Pay (76-4).
Anyone who is on the 73 (Fluff/Guppy) at 14+yrs as an FO is doing it by choice.

Yeah, he was on it by choice, definitely. He had the seniority to get the schedule he wanted, that's my point. That long, he's got a great schedule for him. I've been here two years, I can't imagine a better schedule than what I've got right now.
The CA had been with Continental longer, Check Airman, said he was around 45%. Both in their early 50s, very cool guys.
