If the rumors are true, I wonder if they will get all-new seats and IFE, or will the seats and IFE system be transplanted from the 76Q fleet.

BTW, I heard that the 76Ps will remain in the fleet, not only because of their younger age, but the fact that they have common engines with half of the 763ER fleet (the PW4060). I heard that maintenace for the GE CF6-80A engines on the 76Q fleet is getting expensive, and that DL wants to get rid of that engine type.
