I think the existing sims can probably be used for the 787 since our 787 buy will be custom orders using the NG cockpit as a template for layout and switch positions. Save on training that way, plus buttons wear out while the switches last the life of the aircraft so we'll get all the buttons replaced with switches. So a 3 can be turned into an 8 with just a little paint and a software patch. Maybe a rubber chicken.

Who cares as long as we can fly it like a 200, set zeros, and wait until 3000 feet to use VNAV...
