Correct. Watching the bidding patterns over the past few years it sure seems like a lot of widebody pilots only want the widebody lifestyle.
Last I saw we still have 135 MAXs coming and United has said if the economy keeps humming, they’ll be growth, if not, they’ll be replacement. There are far fewer new widebody slots (one -300ER and now 14 787s remain inbound) coming available in the near future.
