The 75s will be retrofitted with steam gauges, five different autopilots and when they remove the autothrottles they will install a non-functional third power lever. This will meet FAA requirements for a common 727/757 type rating which will show up on your ticket as "STEAM BOEING/FEDEX ONLY".
And we will be forced to try and park in the existing 27 slots....so if you crunch wings it will really be the pilots fault....I mean the Capt....the FO is just along for the ride...
