If the 76ER is included with the 757, it downgrades the ER to fit the lame argument of super duper uber ultra gigantico premium flying that capncrunch would have you buy into. I don't care what he thinks really... I know that he and his fellow narrowbody guys are (regardless of methodology) going to be able to hold widebody flying that they cannot now hold.
The 764 is a different animal avionics wise. Different glass and cockpit setup. It is actually more similar to the 777.
The reason for the question had nothing to do with the merger/SLI or who can or cannot hold widebody. I see and understand both sides of that argument.
I was just wondering why it isn't included with the 764. When I saw the difference in pay between the 764, 76ER/757 and the 737NG I was surprised to see the 756 closer to the 737 than the 764.
The 764 is different than the 76ER but it is also the same type rating with just a differences class while the 777 is a different type.
