B767/757 Common Ops?
:D This has probably been asked before: Which 767/757's are operated on common lines? I'm guessing that crews can switch back and forth between 757 and 767-200/300 series, but not 400 series.(Could do 400 ser. switching, individual cos. likely don't want to do it.) Also, how would pay be handled with companies that have different payscales for 757, and 767, but allow switching between different models?

UPS pays the same for both.

de727: I've known about UPS payscale for a long time. AA has different scales for 75 & 76, while these 2 types fall into 2 different pay groupings for CAL. Do these companies have crews fly both models? If so, how would pay be handled- base pay at lower rate, with subsequent adjustment come bonus check time, or some other method?

At CAL there is a long narrow body pay scale (757) and widebody scale (767). If on reserve you get a blended pay rate since you could possibly, rarely, fly both. The 75, 76 type is the same so even the 767-400 will be flown by all.

BTW the 757/300 carries more pax than the 767/200. |
CAL pay has been discussed but yes CAL pilots can fly all the models of the 757 and 767. Delta pilots have the 767-400 broken out in a separate catagory so 764 pilots only fly the 764.

I flew the 757-200 & 300 for a year and then did a 767-400 trip a year later to HNL. I was "qualified" to do it. "Safety First", says our company. Today I flew a 757-300 and 767-200. :D

Talking to a friend's uncle at a wedding who flies for US. He said the 75 climbs like a bat out of hell, but is heavy on the controls while the 76 is much lighter feeling. Any truth to that?
Also, how much of a difference is there in sight picture, and other items that one would have to keep straight between the two types? |
It is true.. you really have to remember that before you rotate... if you pull as hard as you do on the 757 when you're flying a 767, it could conceivably be very easy to tailstrike.
The 767 is very much a finger tip flying airplane... to the point of being a bit twitchy, even. The 767-300 is a very power on landing. When you want to touch down, you pull the power out. In the 757-200, I have the power idle at 30 feet and start my flare at the same time. That being said, at DL we have blended pay for the 757-200 and 767-300. I am in the domestic category and fly mostly 757's with a few 767's sprinked in. My next trip, the first leg is a 76, then 2 legs in the 75... layover...and a 76 redeye to finish up. |
