Sorry if I was a little unclear, but Old King Coal is right. With "classic" I was reffering to the 3-500 series.
As far as I know there is very little training required to change from the classic to the NG. Depending on if you're changing to an EFIS or a PFD/ND 737NG all the training you need is one or two simulator sessions pluss some ground school. This makes me wonder: why are the NG hours that much more expensive?
Scroggs, I totaly agree with you. There is no point in getting a rating on something you're not aiming to fly. The Classic (3/4/500)series is slowly on it's way out, at least there are no new comming out on the market, while the NG series is beeing delivered at a high rate. This means that in the near future (if not already) there will be a higher demand for NG, than classic pilots and the chanses to get hired are probably higher on the NG. So that's what I'm aiming for!
