FedEx 757 Conversion...
Talk on the crew bus about 757 conversions is that the cockpit will be converted to flat panel displays in an arrangement that looks like the 777…I wouldn’t have given it much thought but I have seen the proposal to put a similar setup in our 300/310’s but they were configured to have a MD11 how-ya-doing.
Seen anything???
757 setup from Boeing...UNMODIFIED FROM THE FACTORY...what you would expect to see if you walked onto any 757 out there...This picture right here below this caption...(REV 1 for FDX Boner Guy)

And for those of us not familiar
I didn't know the 757 DIDN'T look like that. Just because nearly every airline besides FedEx flies them... doesn't mean I knew...
Anyway, to see the old or standard version, look at this:

The only thing I have seen is the diagram a jumpseating avionics guy had which showed two flight deck jumpseats and two jumpseats in the back with a galley and lav. I wished I would have asked him about the cockpit setup.
FYI, there were a bunch of Boeing-Seattle guys/gals in MEM a couple of weeks ago and they were showing their avionics options to the AOD powers that be....

If you use my 2 easy steps then even you could see that the very FIRST picture, titled: "757 setup from Boeing" (it was in the very first post from me) It is a picture of a BOEING 757 as is from the factory...and the main question that was later answered by D. Larusso were some photos of "converted" 767 with a new cockpit...anyway time to go...I hope you get it.
BWP...OUT!

FedEx 757 pic ... looks good
Sweeeeeeeet! Ok, it's probably fake and they wouldn't bother to paint it in FedEx colors BEFORE they put the cargo door in, but it sure looks real. A pretty good fake?
