Probably the same one who decided to remove the roller shades from all the cockpit windows….

The same ones who do not want all of our trips paying the rigs . Some people just have no self-worth. Why anyone wants to come to work for 3. TFP a day is beyond me .

It seems to be assumed (reasonably IMO) that an EICAS system would so fundamentally alter the process for handling abnormals/emergencies that it would probably need to be a different type. Or if not, the differences training would be very substantial.
Even a common type with differences doesn't guarantee that an airline will be allowed by it's CMO to operate a single fleet, and not all airlines would necessarily want to. Even the CRJ 200 and 700/900 were operated as separate fleets by some airlines, even though it's all one type rating

I needed substantially more training to figure out Boeing’s old ass annunciation system than I ever did to understand how an EICAS worked. Recall? Field of view? bright blue dim blue? Wtf? Kinda like switching from a six pack over to glass. Not hard. Better, more intuitive.

With the Boeing delays, I’m sure we’ll get a sweetheart deal on replacing the beat up old jets for new ones.

Indeed…the good old days LOL.
And for the new folks—I just saw the dates of birth on some of our newhires—the NDB was a ground based ah never mind. Bourbon.
