Interesting as I've heard MDs will take over ALL Atlantic crossings in the near future. It sort of makes sense. It'd require fewer 76s with sleep modules. Also, the company supposedly loves CGN MD maintenance as most of the mechanics are current or retired Lufthansa mechanics. We'll know shortly..
As far as upgrade predictions, I think the junior left seat will stay at '05. Many long term by-passers are now considering jumping in.
