Why Wide-Body Flying Isn't Actually Harder

Hannah asked a sharp question: do airlines actually require more seniority to fly bigger aircraft, and if so, why? The answer upends everything passengers assume about pilot experience. This episode breaks down the real reasons wide-body long-haul flying is considered the prize — better quality of life, fewer flight legs, higher pay — and why the aircraft itself isn't actually harder to fly. We also explore the ACMI operator model that lets pilots with 500 hours fly A330s, and how Hi-Fly and similar ghost airlines are reshaping career paths for the next generation of aviators.
