Narrative:

We were cleared for a visual approach to runway 11L at tucson. On approximately a 2 mi final, a conflict arose with a flight of military fgts unable to takeoff in time. Tower asked if we could land on runway 11R to alleviate the situation. After an uneventful landing, we determined the runway was too narrow for our operations. The operation looked safe and there was not enough time to look up runway data in our manuals to see if runway 11R was a legal runway. Callback conversation with reporter revealed the following: the reporting first officer states that it is a requirement of his air carrier to have a minimum of 150 ft of runway width.
