Just flew that exact aircraft 4 days ago! It is our first 767 with the "flat panel" 777-style EFIS.

Flight is scheduled to continue to ZRH tonight awaiting new aircraft and crew. Great job guys!

Flat panel?? Are they putting them in all 767's (200 and 300's)?

That's great news for you guys!!

Yeah, we have 2 757s and the one 767 with the new screens. They are all scheduled to be done by 2011, I believe. It was pretty cool, but since I hadn't seen one since recurrent last year, I was more than a little rusty on the new scan. The displays are great, the only gripe I have is that the FMC doesn't "talk" to the screens (i.e., we have to set our own speed bugs maually.)

I bet if Sully was the Captain he would have walked back there and put the fire out using only his breath!
