G'day all,
I've been going through the costs of how much it would cost to buy a type rating when i came across something i thought was interesting. The following are prices in US$ and the length of training (i'm not sure how up to date the prices are):
B737NG $22 095 (144hrs)
B737 Classic $9 995 (181.5hrs)
B777 $17 570 (135hrs)
Can anybody tell me why a 737NG rating costs over twice as much as a classic rating for less training hours?
Something i found intereseting was the a 777 rating is cheaper than a 737NG rating and requires less training time than both 737 types. Anybody know why this is? Is the 777 less systems instensive than a 737 and easier to fly?
Thanks in advance
Capt C
