Hey "Old Delta" guys,
Would one of you please explain to this "New Delta" guy the difference in your 757/767 categories.
I notice from the seniority list that you have some guys who are:
7ER
764
767
I gather that the ER is international only. But, where do the 764's and 767's fly? What's the difference? Can a pilot fly either one? How about the ER?
Ok. I will stop with the questions. Thanks for any information.

7ER is International/Hawaii 767ER and 757s. Sometimes flys domestic time if in the bid package but not that often. Bases ATL, NYC, LAX, with the possibility of CVG in the near future.
767 is the domestic 757/767 category. Flys domestic which for us includes North America, Caribbean, Mex, Central America. Not able to fly 7ER trips at this point. Bases ATL, CVG, SLC, LAX.

This might have been covered in one of the 2000+ posts, but I heard that some of this Africa flying will be out of Sal Island with out and backs to these other destinations. Anyone know? I think I would prefer that over laying over in these rebel infested destinations.

Hawaii,
And to add another question, did I hear that the ER category may go away and all 757/767 guys may do domestic and international? A mixed bid packet depending on what you want to do that month?

That would require a change to our JCBA and would result in job losses. I don't think anybody is in the mood for that.

Yes, they are looking at getting ride of the 767 domestic and making it all "ER"
All of the overnights will be in SAL. Not too good in some of these countries.

It is what the company wants, not what they are going to get.

I've wondered about the 76/75 categories for a long time. Is there any difference in the ships other than range? (avionics, systems?) If not how did you guys come to have three different categories?

Nothing is different except the 767-400 is glass with speed tapes, the ER pilots have had international, and mountain training. Domestic flies the 767-300, 767-300ER, and all 757's. The ER guys can fly all the airplanes too. The 77-400 guys just fly the 400.
