I think just about every carrier that has both swaps pilots on either plane. However some pilots may not maintain overwater quals in a domestic domicile. Perhaps a moot point by now but is the B-764 a separate fleet at Delta?
And as I've commented elsewhere here, I've seen augmented crews done every which way over the years.
I ran into one of these larger than life guys a while back as I posted on another thread and I did some checking:
Years ago I ran into a guy who claimed to have flown for NASA, flown helos in the Army and F-4's in the Air Force. When I asked if he had any airliner time he said he had flown 727's, 737's, 747's, 757's, 767's and 777's and a few other non-Boeings. I started wiping off my shoes.
Somebody told me he was legit, I didn't believe it.
I looked up his FAA license.
