At one time, the plan was to extend the 767-400 flight deck to all new production 757/767, so keeping the type rating common was a high priority.
That's not what I meant TD. I was commenting on the fact that Delta, unlike UAL has a stand alone 767-400 category for pilots. They don't fly the 767-300 at all, just the -400. Where as I believe UAL comemingles the -300 and -400 flying and 757 as well. Agree the one type rating covers all the 767 models. There was abrief period where Delta expiermented with flying the 777 and 77-400 as a single category but for a host of reasons, that never got off the ground. I have never flown the -400 but have considerable experience in the 777 and 767 aircraft.
