The 757 and 767 do not have identical airframes, they share a type certificate. The Airbus 320 and 340 do not have identical airframes, they share a type certificate. I think you do not understand type certification.
The 737 MAX airframe is substantially more like a 737 NG airframe, than a 757 is to a 767. Etc. It sounds like you have a problem with how airplanes are type certified, not a problem with the airframe.

- cmurf 7y agoI think literally everyone has a problem with airplanes falling out of the sky. Anyone saying otherwise is perhaps a comedian. So I still have to insist you work harder to refine your complaint. The complaint is legitimate, but it's also ordinary. To contribute to the conversation you have to bring something a little bit more than just the ordinary. Indeed, it might very well be questionable that the 757 and 767 have the same type rating. But then, even though they have the same type rating they do still have difference training. Is iPad difference training really adequate? Who evaluated this? Were there contrary opinions?
