The loo isn't in the cockpit on the Bus, which is also nice. And we never have to put jumpseater bags in the belly.

Having said that, love j/s on the bus, hated flying it. As a new guy/gal, you only have to learn one airplane.
On the 75/76 there are differences and I'm not sure these are all
757 RR classic
757 RR LDS
757 PW classic
757 PW LDS
767 LDS winglet
767 classic winglet
767 LDS non-winglet (maybe classic also)
767 JAL
767 dry lease

I think the point is that the Bus isn't scheduled to fly as far... doesn't really matter much since the schedule is relatively full for all of us. Each platform has it's advantages/disadvantages, really just depends on what you are looking for.
