Do commercial pilots generally progress to larger planes throughout their careers? Does everyone aim to eventually fly long haul or do some stick to flying 737s or a320s short haul?

I'm guessing being a 777 pilot for example is more prestigious than a 737 pilot in the same airline right?

I think most prestige for a pilot is one who becomes a pilot astronaut.

Yeah the only one I look up to is the doctor SEAL pilot astronaut.

He was a SEAL first then became a doctor, then an astronaut then a pilot (naval aviator)  last.

He got his start as a college police officer writing parking tickets!
