I was just curious in regards to acquiring the A330 rating, I know that it is granted to you upon achieving the ratings for the 767, however the 757 is also a stage 3 a/c what are differences between the two? Why would the A330 be granted on the 767 but not the 757? Thanks in advance

Waaaay back when there was a combined 757/767 program here at DVA. The program was split into because the program got too big (I believe). The A330 is more similar to the 767 than 757 hence the reason why you get that rating when you get the 767 rating.
