Are all B767 variant airframes being merged into a single fleet?
- Thanks

76T = Legacy UAL 757-200 and 767-300.
CAL jets have better avionics setup and are all ETOPS. Most UA 757s are not. UA jets being modified to same avionics standard as CAL jets.
Still different engines UA 757s Pratt; CAL Rolls. Fleets expected to merge eventually...maybe later this year.

Most legacy U 757 and 767 still have ACARs 1.0 or 1.5 as well (i.e. No communication between the FMCs and the ACARs...very antiquated).

UA jets have "fast/slow" indicator on left side of EADI, CAL has Vertical Tape airspeed with flap reference marks.
UA jets have carpet on floor in cockpit. Cal are metal.
Cal RR engines have significantly more thrust than UA Pratts.
