A330 and B767

[BuffaloJoe]

Are pilots cross trained on both types?

 

[etops1]

No...

 

[bigbusboy]

They can hold type ratings on both, but they can't be qualified to fly both simmultaneously. BoeingBoy can better explain this.

Actually, that's as good as it gets for rank & file line pilots in the U.S. There may be exceptions at some third world carriers but I don't know that. There was a time that base chief pilots were qualified to fly anything that had crews based there, but don't think that still exists.

OK thank you for your responses. But a 757 pilot can fly a 767, am I correct on that?

correct, like types as is ab 319,320,321 emb170/190 as per FAA

And Boeing 737-300/400/700/800 aka WN kick a$$

Now "IF" only You knew that your beloved WN doesn't fly the -400 or -800 series! 🙄

I was surprised that when CO still had 737-200's the 737 pilots all flew the 200/300/500/700/800/900. A friend who is an a 737 FO for them said he had trips where he would actually fly a 200 leg then the next would be a 900. Pretty big difference in technology.

My 2 cents

[cltflyer1]

can a a330 family pilot not also fly the a320 family

 

[700UW]

Not at the same time, different type rating, at US the only pilots that can fly two plane types are the 767/757 aircraft.

I believe the A330/340 family are considered one aircraft type.

As I recall, though, the differences training between the A31x series and the A3x series is minimal.

There is also a short course differences training going from the A320 series to the A330 series. Airbus has been very diligent in making its fly-by-wire products with a lot of similarity across fleets. This saves a lot of training costs for those operators who are exclusively Airbus.

IMO, they are so similar that, after taking a type-rating check in an A320, a pilot could walk over to an A330 simulator and take an A330 type-rating ride and pass with no effort. Of course, that would not apply to the systems examination. But from the standpoint of feel and procedure, they are practically identical.

US pilot types and associated aircraft-

A330-200/330-300/(340)
B757/767
(A318)/319/320/321

I am aware of Southwest Airlines fleet types
737-700: total 315
737-500:total 25
737-300: total189

737-300/400/500 and the 737/800/900 series allow a common pilot type rating for the two 737 families.
All knowing do you know if they are getting 737/800/900 ????of course you don’t .
Sounds like a plan unlike some I know
