I'm thinking of taking the FO exam for either the 757 or the 737. I have the CS752, and am getting the NGX soon. I'll probably go for the 737 - but anyone have any suggestions as to which I should take the FO's exam for?

Well, you're in the 767 already so I'd probably go 737 for variety. The 757 and 767 are really similar as far as systems are concerned.

If you currently have the CS752, take the 757 FO exam and get an additional ratting in it. Then when you do get the NGX, take the 737 exam. You can never have too many ratings.

if you like real ops (tryin to stick to the scedual as close as possible) id go for a 75 since thire are more routes for the 757. plus ive noticed the 737 has a lot of medium to long haul flights. but i do most of my flights out of KATL. SLC has more routes that i like, ive been pondering moveing overthere. nice short flights no more than 2.5 hours block to block.

course you could always get additional rateings so you can file in both if you want. just pick wich one you feel like flying
