In the area of my Pilot Center I see this message: "You are eligible to transfer to or request additional ratings in the following equipment types upon successful completion of the First Officer's examination for these equipment programs: CRJ-200, EMB-120, A320, MD-88, B757-200, B767-300, DC-6, B747-400, B777-200, DC-8-61, L-1011-100, MD-11. "

The only selection I see in the drop-down list is B737-800, but that doesn't make any sense because not only am I rated got the B738, but I was Captain in that program before transferring to the 727 program.

Garen, looks like that was the program you were hired into, so you wouldn't have taken the 737 FO test. Send a msg. to the 737 CP and see if he can help you out with it.

Note "upon successful completion of the First Officer's examination".... You'll need to take the test first.

Cheers!

Garen,

If you read the pilot promotion manual fully, there is a clause that "if you want to switch to a lower rating" and then gives out the details of the process to switch.

The drop down you see is for that.
