Indy 767 transition plans
Anyone hear what the plan is for Indy transition from classic to LDS 76s? It would seem they have to excess (or it's new contract equivalent) and open an Indy 76 base with the LDS equipment. Since each crew position is geographic AND equipment specific Indy classic 76 and Indy LDS 76 are two different crew positions.

My understanding was that the FAA decided MEM or IND guys could fly 2 of the 3 but not all three. It seems like having that 757 in common between the two bases would make the switch a bit less complex than you're suggesting. Differences training from classic to LDS and press on. Type rating is still the same regardless and has been handled this way since the 1980s.
As far as your 777 theory: Having to get a new type rating kind of blows that out of the water, I would think.

From Section 2:
31 . CREW POSITION
A specific crew seat, in a specific aircraft type, at a specific domicile (e.g., Captain MD-11MEM; First Officer A-300 MEM).
You're talking about different qualifications on a single type. The big screens don't constitute a different type.

My understanding is that it will be just like when MEM transitioned from Classic to LDS. There will be a SBA (not SIBA) bid for those that will continue to fly the Classic until they're gone. Others will go through differences training and checked out on the LDS.
I don't believe when Indy opened it said IND- 767 Classic. It's a 767 that happens to be classic configuration.
