I was just looking at some photos on airliners.net, and noticed that the cockpit of the -400ER is different than that of the -200/-300/ER (and 757) aircraft. The location of the displays is nearly identical to the 777’s cockpit. The only major difference is in the autopilot switches.

[...] computer renderings of Delta’s new full-flat seat we’ll be installing on the first of seven 767-400ERs this winter. It’s a really innovative design in that it’s 20% wider than the current seat, [...]

Jayo Z…it was either an L-1011 or MD11.

On the subject of aircraft, I have a question; maybe someone here can answer this, as it’s been bugging me for years: what aircraft operated MCO-ATL in 1997? The seat layout was either 2-4-2 or 2-5-2. We were stuck in a thunderstorm in Orlando and missed our connection in Atlanta to LGA, and stayed overnight (caught a Mad Dog the next morning).

Only times I’ve ever gone int’l with Delta were to Aruba, Bahamas, Costa Rica, Panama, and Mexico, and one of those was on Chatauqua; the rest were on standard 757 (the same one twice even - JFK-ACA and ATL-SJO were both on ship 678) (which is perfectly fine; the Shanghai jet (N900PC) is pretty cool with the Chinese writing!). I had the pleasure of taking a DL 767 back in 1997 when I was 6 years old (and I only know it was a 767 because of the 2-3-2; I wanted to take a nap but the F/A said we were going to land) from CVG-MCO. CO’s 764s are nice (they’re HUGE!).

I never flown on one for an International flight. But it did tease me once in Berlin. I saw it sitting at the gate a direct flight to JFK I so wanted to be on it. But I was on Air Berlin with a connecting flight

Ohhh… I thought it was. Okay maybe not. But isn’t there some kind of cross-type rating going on there (maybe the layout of the screens or something)? I heard about that a number of times… if I can find it I’ll let y’all know (:
Still a great plane!

Jayo Z: The 767-400ER flight deck is certainly not identical to that of the 777. There are many subtle similarities (i.e. LCD displays), but certainly not identical.

I like the info! Thanks! I’ve only been on one 767 and I believe it was a Delta 767-200 or maybe -300. It definately is a nice bird and it’s pretty nice and spacious inside. Which leads me to one question… how will the addition of A330’s influence Delta’s 767’s? The A330 is very similar as far as size and capacity goes. Hopefully you guys will enjoy the A330 as much as Northwest does.

The setup of the 767-400ER’s flight deck is identical to that of the Boeing 777, allowing for pilot cross-certification with less training necessary and more flying time available!
The flight deck of the -300/300ER series is identical to its sister aircraft, the Boeing 757. This also allows for cross-certification.
The 2-3-2 seating layout of the 767 is a favorite among all passengers worldwide, never leaving more than one seat between you and the aisle.

Delta was the launch customer for the -400ER. The first 767-432ER, N825MH, was built in 2000. Delta Air Lines and Continental Airlines are the only airlines in the world that operate this variant of the 767.
The -400ER totally leaves the A330 in the dust =D

I love the fact about the flight to London. How much do one of these things cost?
