There are 3 differences on the 73. Integrated standby flt inst. and non. Flashlight batteries. And the actual jumpseat ( must have cushion) some don't.
75/76 lots of differences. Hard to keep everything straight. If you've flown Boeing before not a problem.
AQP training your systems oral is on the computer. 737 oral took me 19 minutes. But that was before they added some scenario based questions.
777 oral on computer took me maybe 30 minutes.
The 75 flies to some tricky places. For a new hire getting checked out on 2 different FMS (FMC's) old and flat panel avionics. 757 Pegasus vs acars computer, and Oceanic (Europe) procedures is ALOT!
I'll write more later. Just putting stuff out here for new hires.
So, 75/76 training isn't AQP?
It's actually some of those tricky (challenging) places that attract me to the 75/76. I also have some personal ties to LIM (SPIM) and would like to get on that double all nighter periodically. One man's sh!t sandwich is another man's caviar!
Still, in a system where 1 single seniority number (let alone 24) can be so significant, I think I'd have to decided to complete 73 training first myself.
