The latest I've heard is the engine/flight control displays, already flat panel, will stay. The flight instruments panels will replace the analog displays, cutting down on weight and maintenance costs. I guess it's getting harder to find companies who fix all the old analogue instruments.

Based on the ISS picture and the above, I would think the standby instruments would be replaced with a small flat panel display. Just my guess.

What's the guess on training on the new displays? A CD or a sim? I've heard a CD only but that's just a rumor.
