I think BA may have been the first operator of a joint 757/767 fleet Ken. BA first 767s delivered 1990. I think Britannia were the only other UK 767 operattor at the time, First 767 1984, first 757 1990. that probably explains the delay in implementaion of a common rating. I met a nightstopping BA 757 crew in Jersey in 91/92 and they told me they were common rated
