No (I don't think). If I understand correctly, the 757 guys won't be able to fly the initial 767s because of the "round dial" issue.

Just a differences training from what I understand. I think the Feds are happy letting us be "qualed" on any 2 of 3. Glass 75 and either round dial or glass 76.

FDXLAG is correct.

At other "Brand X" airlines.. the pilots of the 757/767 can legally fly a mixture of airplanes. Some "classic" 757's that have round dials and EFIS all the way to the 767-400s with complete glass cockpits that are similar to what FedEx will have with our advanced flight deck.

All that is required is the differences training to learn the particulars of the jets we'll be flying.

The magic of the common type rating.

They would have to go to Seattle for that training though.

That's not how I understood it during the ALPA webcast.
-Glass 757 & glass 767 ... ok
-Glass 767 & round 767 ... ok
-Glass 757 & round 767 ... not ok

I thought that was the whole purpose behind the initial "SBA" bid.

I've been wrong before, though.

I thought it was explained somewhere that you can be checked out in any combination of two but not three.

Yes, that is correct.

SBA Bid will not be required until we have both versions of 76 on property.

SBA Bid will be required when we get the first Classic B-757. We just bought 30 from UAL. Cargo conversion, skip the cockpit upgrade, there ya go.

The initial B-767s will be "Classic" cockpits, which will require a Special Bid Award (SBA). Only pilots who are current and qualified and without weather restriction can bid SBA.

How many B-767 pilots do we have who are current and qualified and without weather restriction?


B-757 Advanced Cockpit
B-767 Classic Cockpit
