No offense to Airtran guys, because a good friend of mine is a CA there, but Delta manuals and training would be completely different than Airtran's. All Delta's manuals are in a certain format - it would make for a difficult transition to use another airline's style of writing and procedures.
Yes, and the FAA nixed it. They were hoping to make a single category that included some Saudi MD90s with the more advanced cockpit, and 717s. Can you believe that now?
