WN still has some 732s, all of them are the advanced models (longer range,
better aero).  The 737 was designed from the start to have a 2 person cockpit.
The 3 pilot thing comes from when the pilot's unions forced 737 carriers
(namely United) to carry a third crew because they were worried about the 737
taking over from the 727.  Was a bit stupid, and eventually UA was flying their
737s with 2 (like not)
