Title: Flight Engineers on the 767
Post by passeur on May 27th, 2012 at 11:56am
Hello everybody!

I recently found that some 767-200 were flown by three men crews, it happened in Australia with Ansett. It seems the CEO promised the pilots union that there would always be a Flight Engineer on aircrafts carrying more than 120 passengers and Ansett required Boeing to modify the 767 cockpit to include a Flight Engineer station.

here is a video shot from the jumpseat of one of these 767 in 1987:

To me it's an interesting sight as I always thought that one of the  aim of the 767 was to eliminate the need for a Flight Engineer.

Anyone knows if a similar thing happened with the 757?

PS : I hope it's not a repost
