Question FedEx Widebody SO

I was just wondering if FedEx widebody pilots typically have to spend time as a widebody SO? From what I can tell from previous posts, it sounds like you are able to upgrade directly to the right seat of a widebody. If so, do people just choose to be a widebody SO to have more control of their schedule?

Thanks for any info.

Actually......our only Wide body S/O seats are DC-10's and we are slowly parking them. (i.e. negative movement)
The DC-10 S/O Seat is very senior because many over 60 pilots elect to go back to 2nd officer..............Most new hires either Stay as a 727 S/O if they want seniority. Bid 727 First officer for a little less Seniority with pay raise...................or give up all senority and bid the MD-11 or A-300 FO.

Is the 727 the only plane that FedEx has that is NOT considered a widebody??
