Yes, I'm stereotyping here based purely on what former 777Bs share with me. I do not have this choice to make myself and obviously can't speak for the masses.

Which one is right? Also, in the video on Skyhub he said there would be 15 ATL 777B vacancies.

The break even point for 777B or 350B happens somewhere around mid level 7ERA or junior 330A. Some pilots bid the upgrade earlier purely for the enjoyment of flying with their favorite captain. Others get tired of the time zone changes and upgrade for a normal sleep schedule.

Any ATL ER FOs care to weigh in on what they like/dislike about the flying, deliberating about whether or not to try for it on this AE or shoot for the bus in the future...I know it will be retired probably within the next 7-10 years but have always been intrigued by it and wanted to fly it. Thanks
