I have been bouncing around doing code share flights in Europe with some SkyTeam partner airlines. I noticed Czech Airlines was on the schedule and decided to check them out. Almost the entire schedule in the database has them operating 737-800s despite CSA only having one 738 with the rest of their small fleet being Airbus. As much as I love flying my PMDG 737 I'm getting kind of burned out after all these KLM flights and would like to switch it up a bit. I looked in the pilot manual and didn't see anything about aircraft substitutions on flights, but I'm pretty sure I'd be okay subbing a 738 for an A320, correct?

Samuel,
You can fly any aircraft type as long as you are rated for the equipment type and can make the trip safely with enough fuel reserves.
Our schedule was updated recently and we have had a few hiccups with it but we are sorting through the schedule hiccups it will just take a little bit.

No worries, just wanted to make sure I could swap equipment types before I try to submit a PIREP.
Thanks.

The SkyTeam schedule has most of these as 738.

Many (if not most) of these 738 flights are operated by Smartwings, the mother company of Czech Airlines.
