Default CAL Question

What are the real chances of a common type with the B777 & B787?
How do you CAL flyers feel about that?
Also, anyone have further info. on the series/models of B777 ordered last week?

The FAA lets pilots fly any model of the 737 when there is not much similair between the 300 and 900 models. They also let us fly the 757-200 and 767-400 and there is nothing similair about those. There is two ways of doing it: common type and dual rated. CAL is planning a dual rated, like the 757/767. It's two separate types, but pilots fly both and recurrent training will be one night in a 777 sim and one in the 787 sim. That's what I'm hearing from 777 instructors in the training center, but we'll see what really happens.

I believe one of the stipulations when we ordered the 787's was that they had to be a common type to keep training costs down.

CAL and Boeing want it that way. I guess the FAA will have the final say?
