It is there to provide access to every crewmember at FedEx.

Cockpit Configuration?

Anybody know what the cockpit config will be...heard a rumor that we didn't get the contract let quick enough to beat American to the production line for the 6 DU glass cockpit. Just wondering...nice to talk about something to do with flying and airplanes....thx for the photo.

Was the fuselage extended at all with the cargo door addition? Maybe it's just my eyes, but it seems the section forward of the wing has been lengthened relative to a non-altered 200.

Enjoy it FEDEX guys! The Rolls Royce 757 is awesome. I fly it for AA.

On my last trip out of SXM the CA and I were talking that not too long from now we might be sitting in a 787 and telling the IO/FB/Bunky FO how greeat the 757 was. Kind of like how we feel about the 727.

OK that was corny, I feel dirty, must go take shower now.
