The 767 is more senior because it is wide-body pay and not large-narrow pay. Plus it does some of the best overnights at CAL. While you usually do an international trip in the same type both ways: 757 or 767, you can do both in one day. Last week I flew a 767 to Houston and a 757 to LA in the same day. I'm junior, so I fly mostly the 757's. The 757-300's don't do the international flying, they go to LA, Vegas, Florida, etc. The 757-200's are doing all the Europe flying, with the 767 doing the bigger cities in Eurpope like Rome or Paris. I do mostly U.K. flying in the 757-200. This month I do a lot of LA and Vegas in the 757-300.

The 767-400 is a lot like the 777, but still a 767, so they keep it with the 757/767 type. You have to do differences training and IOE on it in addition to the 757 training. An airplane is an airplane after awhile. There was a lot of problems with flaps speeds. All the models have different flaps speeds, so you can bust limitations easy. I just look at the placard on the gauge all the time, so I don't screw it up. The 757-200 weighs 255,500lbs and the 767-400 weighs 450,000lbs, so there is a big difference.
