I owe you a beer (or beverage of you choice, champagne not included)...

Brenoch,
No problems mate. If you're ever Down Under I'll gladly accept the kind offer of a cold brown beverage. (I'm yet to meet a Gingerbeer who would select champagne as a drink of choice)

The reply previous to yours was obviously out of a pilot's manual and they never tell you the truth.

Can't have you "Drivers" having ready access to all our secrets can we!
Next thing you'll want to know the location of "The Golden Rivet"
Our engineers training notes in hardcopy form take up about 3-4 ft of shelf space, so a little more in depth than your stuff ever could be. (and that's just the mechanical stuff - add the same again for electrical/instrument/radio)

A caveat to my answer above - it applies to the 767. I've never worked or been trained on the 757, so there may well be differences. If you only knew the differences under the skin between a 767-200 and a 767-300 you wouldn't believe it, so there's every chance that the 757 could be a whole different animal.
