Sounds like it will save more money on fuel. Now all they have to do is go to the electronic flight bag.

Damn, I got all excited when I saw this thread, I thought we were getting free iPods or something.

When will they insist on changing the overhead panel?

VNAV sucks in the decent. A/T work fine.

Hal,
I've never flown a 737 yet (except the sim on my type rating course). But the VNAV on the A320 is great as long as you put winds in the FMS. What does it do in the 73 that you don't like?
Thanks,
BS

VNAV works great on the NG's but on the classics it can be kind of a pain.

Works pretty sweet on the 757.....
