I'm considering bidding to the right seat as I'd be number 1 on it for now, but it's tough with a 5 hour commute to make many of those last minute 2hr GS show times, so I'll probably stay put.
I know more than a few 777 F/O's who have bid narrow body captain only to come back to the right seat on the 777 asap!
"What was I thinking?" is the most common thought I hear!
That is the great thing about this airline. We have choices. I have zero interest in the 777 or 330. I have met plenty of guys that were on the 777, hated it and bid off. (and they all left for the same reason) One man's trash is another man's treasure. But hey, I guess if you HAVE to have the money there is only 1 place you can really go, right?
