Delta would love to have it one category, but to do so would require us to bring the ER rates up the the 765 rates which they won't do.

Are United's cockpit setups all common with the newer PD and ND? I heard this is a real point of emphasis with the FAA. Makes differences much easier to teach. analog dial vs. electronic tape displays for speed altitude, nav etc. Learning cues for both during critical phases of flight was the reason for the analog glass SWA has on their new 737s. Or so I was told.

You can make a conventional PFD/MFD/ND screen look like a traditional/old school "six pack"/round dial/steam gage's, etc.
Round dial airspeed indicator/altimeter/full DG/HSI/VSI as opposed to speed/alt tapes, etc.
As mentioned, when SW was taking new 73's "back in the day" they were configured that way.
You can google image it to get an idea.

The 767-400 is the 777 displays. The FAA requires proficiency in the 400 every three months. CAs have to have a landing or complete online training if last flight was outside 3 mos. FOs have to be flying with a current CA. They are then qualified after that flight. It's kind of a goat rope and that is why the plane is relegated to DCA and EWR.
