You can pick whichever Stage 3 program you prefer - the 757, 767 or 727. If you do not have FS9 then yes, you would probably have only the 757 or 767 to select.
Cheers!

Bo,
What's the hurry? This hobby will not expire next week. Take your time, explore, smell the roses, enjoy the 737. You're obviously a young man and have plenty of time to learn all about the world of aviation. I've been a RW pilot for over 38 years and still enjoy a Piper Cub. Big iron may appeal to you now for the thrill of handling 2 or 3 hundred thousand pounds of aircraft. Consider first really understanding the awsome skill you are yearning to acquire. You don't start in a 757 or 777; you start in one that teaches you the necessary fundamentals. Thrust, liift,drag and our constant nemesis, the ever present gravity. However, if you are a computer guru, you can bypass years of wonderful experience, punch a few buttons and WATCH you're airplane fly from point to point. In either case just concentrate at this stage, in having FUN; The rest will come naturally.

You keep all ratings you have earned. I'm in the 777 program, but I have ratings in 737, CRJ, EMB, MD-88, 757, 767, and 777. I can fly all aircraft in those classes. The only ratings I don't have are in the historic programs (no offense, but I don't plan on getting them).

The 757 is actually a wonderful aircraft to fly, and you get the option to use the Song livery :)...which by the way, I absolutely love Song(which is operated by Delta, of course). I'd say give it a go around sometime, you might find yourself surprised.

i know that transatlantics are awesome, but believe me it will be more intresting if u earned more experience on many stage 2 aircrafts , and planning ur own short routes , then get to the 767 .
