Minor differences like who makes the FMC, what color a knob is etc, is not what I was reffering to. As far as 757-767, I know several RA Pilots that have flown both and they tell me that you can pretty much walk from one cockpit to the other with only minor training.

"-200 and -300 have the exact same cockpit as the 757"Assuming you were referring to the 767-200/-300, well, you are mistaking.Agreed, at a first glance the two cockpits seem similar. But there are quite a few big differences:completely different hydraulic panel (the 757 has no HMG, but has a PTU)completely different bleed system and panel. No jettison on the 757 either.But then again no two 767 cockpits are the same either :-)Regards,Mark
