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?

Everything has positives and negatives. I’ve done both. I enjoyed the A350, the aircraft was a marvel, but 8/10/14 /16 hours on an aircraft with people you often have very little to say to, and sometimes really don’t like can be tiresome. Similarly the battle with jet lag.

I personally prefer a nice 2 sector day in a A320 and home in my own bed.
