That explaination is incorrect.
A "7ER" base/category is a 767/757 "transoceanic qualified" base/category in as few words as possible.
A "767" base/category (also known as 767 domestic) is a 767/757 base/category that flies non ocean crossing routes and does not go farther south than 3 degrees south of the equator. I believe the farthest out to sea that we go on the domestic side is Bermuda.
All 7ER and 767 pilots are qualified to fly, and do fly, all models of the 757-200, 757-200ER (winglets), 767-300, and 767-300ER... soon to be adding the 757-300.
The 767-400 is a separate "ER" category where they fly both ocean crossing and domestic ops. This is designated as the "765." Goodness knows why it got this designation.. someone told me the history behind it one time, but I've long since forgotten.
"ER" pilots can fly both domestic (see previous description) and international, while non ER can only do "domestic" ops.
So do ER pilots normally get stuff within the US? Or even though they can, do they only fly international?
