787 Cockpit

Admittedly, I got sidetracked watching chemtrail videos and found this gem:

It's not centered until you sit in it and move it over, this way you're not crawling over the console to get to your seat.

Most *real* airplanes (I'm poking fun at RJs here) have seats that slide back and then out towards the side wall of the airplane so you can easily get in and out.
 
The FMC looks like a touch screen? In fact most of those monitors look touch screen. That's gonna get messy. :D

That makes a lot of sense. I tried that once in a G3 and Lear 60 here at PWA. I should have stretched before getting in.

So are you sitting right or left seat in your avatar in the 60??;) As small as the 60 is, the 35 is much smaller...or so I've heard!

Now remove the carpet, put a big plug where the EFB goes, write "SHIP 7801 SELCAL AJFD" illegibly on the forward panel in black Sharpie, empty your dryers lint tray over the center console and scribble "PRPS = SCABS" and "A.S. RETIRE" in all of the hatches and that's how it'll REALLY look at Southernjets! ;)

On my last flight on the ER (which actually happened to be an ER for once) before 88 training I looked up in the hatch and found, "Doug Taylor is a 'feminine hygiene product'". I took a picture and will send it to you when I find a real computer and not this iPad.

I only see one cup holder per side. Say what you will about the DC-9/MD-88/717 but, at least Douglas that far enough in advance to put in two cup holders per side. One for a cup of ice and one for the Coke can. This will be just like the 767, one good bump and Coke is all over your bag or lap.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I see two cup holders per side. One in front of the EFB in the corner, and one on the upper side aft of the oxygen mask. Maybe Boeing is learning?

Impressive looking cockpit for sure.
 
What happened to CAL being the US launch customer? Did the UA meger cancel that out? Im only seeing ANA and JAL.

OMG I didn't see that other one! But, to continue complaining (because I'm good at it) those cup holders are really far apart. I would need to lean back to get my can of Coke and then lean forward to pour it into my cup of ice. Come on! That's it, I've decided this plane is a piece of crap!:p

Or the relief pilot dumping a half cup o' joe in your flight kit.... where do we find such people? :)

I did notice the same thing but figured it had something to do with available space.
 
Nice:beer:

But at the moment im just looking forward to get in a jet (first of all) and when I`ve gained enough experience to climb into the cockpit of a 787, it probably will be another plane out there and Im gonna think; "MAAAN, I wish I was in that cockpit"! :P
