It's been hashed out here, prob a month ago (so that's hundreds of pages?). Anyway - it's so different from a DC9 or MD88 cockpit, people either think the feds wouldn't agree for single category, or would put so many stipulations on the program it wouldn't be cost efficient.
Apparently it's like a MD11 cockpit on a DC9 body.
