Default FAA gives B787 and B777 with common type

Page 5:

1.1 Flight Standardization Board (FSB) Report Specifications. This FSB report specifies FAA master training, checking, and currency requirements applicable to crews operating B-787 Aircraft under CFR Part 121. Various sections within the report are qualified as to whether compliance is required (considering the provisions of AC 120-53A), recommended, or advisory in nature. Provisions of the report:

a. Identify a common pilot type rating assigned to the B-777 and B-787,

b. Identify the B-777 and B-787 as “related aircraft”,

Page 6:

2.1 Type Rating. The Boeing 787 is designated B-787. In accordance with the provisions of FAA Order 8900.1 and AC 120-53A, the B-777 and B-787 are assigned a common pilot type rating.

Another FAA agreement to reduce the number of pilots needed to staff the airline.

This is total bull!@#. Though I'm not surprised - look at the 757-200 and 767-400. Money talks.

Yet another cost-saving reason for them to not negotiate a new contract with new rates.
