The location of the displays is nearly identical to the 777's cockpit. The only major difference is in the autopilot switches.

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).

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 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! Ohhh… I thought it was. Okay maybe not.

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

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. I like the info! Thanks! I’ve only been on one 767 and I believe it was a Delta 767-200 or maybe -300.

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?
