Dude, don't be raining on my steam-gauge parade! 
I know about the LCD upgrade- I listened to the (outgoing) MD of Flight Training (MP) say that the 757s will have the full-up 6-screen LCD system (which will look amazingly similar to what the 777s have when they show up).
I just want to hear a steam-gauge 757 rumor on a crew bus sometime to see how much influence this pointless discussion has!

Ah yes, BB back to the line. I personally will doubt his proficiency to check out in any airplane on the property. Lost my respect day one of the Maddog. If he's not flying a desk or 'observing' in a sim he's not worth the weak ass horse he rode in on.

I used to be an AA guy, so I surely hope we get the Pegasus FMCs!
But from what I hear the 75s will have the full LCD flight deck, along with the new APLC/PAT software. (That's FedEx specific).
I hope that includes the new FMC software.
FedEx (as you know) makes tons of money but refuses to spend ANY of it on airplanes.

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...
