Huck,

It's not the first officer who is going to bid wide, or for that matter, narrow body captain, whose "part of the problem." IMHO, Jack was talking about guys who have hung out in the same seat for a looooong time (not including captains) who, for whatever reason haven't upgraded. An f/o to captain IS an upgrade, and as such, that's what JL was suggesting should happen. And I agree that most 727 f/o's won't bid the 757 f/o position. Most wouldn't want to do walk-arounds, but if it were me, I'd jump in a minute. Glass is the way to go and having that in a very quiet cockpit, one that doesn't stay cold in the winter and hot in the summer, would be very appealing to me. Besides, the 757 is one of the two or 3 sexiest commercial jets out there, right behind the DC-8 and the 747-400. (again, IMHO.) Certainly exciting times here at FedEx.
