Basically none. Everyone first does the 75/76 course, with sims in both types. After the type ride, the intl guys then do a 2-3 day long range nav course. As far as ER guys flying domestic, they cannot pick up any domestic trips, however, there is some domestic time built in the trips they can bid. 1000 hours of domestic time is going over to the ATL ER group.
That's 1000 hours less available for me to bid.
For what it's worth, there is persistant rumors of DL doing the glass conversion to make the 757/763/764 all the same so that they can combine all the catergories. From a company view, it increases the efficencies, however, from a pilot view, it requires less bodies to staff.
