I was told by RF once that they were looking at several options including keeping the center panel and backup instruments as is. I was thinking NOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

The latest I've heard is the engine/flight control displays, already flat panel, will stay. The flight instruments panels will replace the analog displays, cutting down on weight and maintenance costs. I guess it's getting harder to find companies who fix all the old analogue instruments.

Based on the ISS picture and the above, I would think the standby instruments would be replaced with a small flat panel display. Just my guess.

What's the guess on training on the new displays? A CD or a sim? I've heard a CD only but that's just a rumor.

So you're telling me we're not hiring because we're investing in celebrity inspired airport restaurants in LAX and not additional gate space? Got it. Makes perfect sense.

There's a rumor out here that we're working the gate issue as well. Involves some gate swapping with UAL. Can't come soon enough.

And terminal 5 is in dire need of an overhaul....and I like the new eating options. Its real food.
