I'm hearing the same thing. I heard there are problems with getting the new stuff to integrate with the autoflight system and that it has been put off indefinitely at this point. This doesn't surprise me. Maybe they could just upgrade the FMS to Pegasus (with GPS), leave everything else the same, and this would meet the Next Gen requirements?
