Widebody captain is the cream of the crop in this industry. You fly the best equipment to the best locations, get the best pay, and have the best trips and schedules. How often do you hear about a widebody crew sitting around an airport for hours waiting on a mechanical issue or an inbound aircraft? It's simply the best parts of the job without the worst, while narrowbody is the opposite.
