Sorry for the thread creep.

The ACARS chime on the -400 could wake the dead. Also, if we don't touch anything including the radio for a period of time (15 mins I think) we get a master caution and an EICAS msg "Pilot Response". All you have to do is move something like the heading bug to let the aircraft know you are there. Might be a good thing for the 'bus.

The 340 doesnt do that, and I dont think the 320 does either. Always the best thing to do is Aviate, Navigate, and Communicate.

I don't think this is standard on all Boeing widebodies.

Probably not and I've only seen it twice. It's unusual that we don't even move the heading bug for that long.
