Hey guys,

I was wondering, I am a MD-88 first officer and am ready to take the captin test. Do I need to get the 737-800 rating to fly the 757 or if I just have the MD-88 does that work? Thanks.

You have to be a captain in the MD-88 program than you can test for the 757 program.

It's good to read the Promotion Guide to get a general idea, but if you want to be 100% sure you can always ask or use the Help Desk. smile
