Try Before You Fly: How Dreamliner Pilots Train Without Lifting Off | Autopia | Wired.com

"Anyone who's flown a Boeing 777 can get up to speed with the 787 in as few as five days as the two airplanes share a type rating for pilots. A pilot with no experience in a Boeing airplane will need as long as 22 days to receive a type rating and master the 787."

Just wondering about the relationship between sim training and that "human factors" problem...
