Is that not industry standard, or did we reinvent the wheel.........again?
Who else, but us and CAL used the POSG/HAND (Picture Of Steam Gauges Display/Half A$$ed Navigation Display)?
I just love internet forum pedantry!

Boeing offers the gauge displays option on the NG's for the ease of transition. We probably asked for that.

1) Replace all the 687-powered annunciator lights with LEDs (less heat.)
2) Separate sound effects for the takeoff config and cabin altitude warnings
...but I'm standing by to be disappointed.

From: DOWNGRADE COMPLETE: Thanks Gary. Thanks SWAPA.
However, with regard to #1 above, if they make the overhead 777-like I doubt that they'd be able to sneak it in under the same type. Who knows, but you're smart for not holding your breathe.
Also heard that the MAX will have crosshair FDs and the NGs will be flipped over to them as well. Don't know, don't care, just bring that effing overhead up to date for crying out loud.

Back in October, I was a volunteer for a Boeing study in Seattle. According to a Boeing guy, the overhead will not be like the newer Boeing designs. He said if they did, the Feds would require a new type rating.
