And under some of the overseas licenses, the type rating is specific to the engine type as well. Some U.S. airline fleets have both Pratt and Rolls engines on their 757's for example. That would require two type ratings with some non-FAA ATPL's I believe. Or, is it a type rating with two engine endorsements?
Anyway, as I commented earlier, the separate Delta B-764 bid (and pay) category may be a thing of the past as moves are made to 'right-size' the airline in the downturn.
