When would they be eligible to "fly" the entire fleet? Which part of the contract separates the fleets and allows limiting pilots to a type?
Just in case, you don't really know, it doesn't. New hires have not hit wide bodies yet, although it's getting very close. 2 & 3 year guys have been getting a lot of 777 F/O bids.
The 767 fleet is the exception. The 767 is really a wide body, but for pay, it's a bit weird. Many new hires on the 767/757.
