ACYSB87 and I took detailed notes. No time to post them now, but I'll take a crack at it possibly later tonight, latest tomorrow.
To answer your question, the 763's will be refurbished at a rate of one every 10-15 days beginning March 1, 2006 and completion by early 2007. They will be complete interior overhauls with brand-new leading edge "pod" style lie-flat seats in J and all new Y seating with in-seat power and IFE at every seat. They can't begin the retro-fit any sooner than March as the IFE system won't be certified until then.
No decision has been made on refreshing the domestic 767 fleet yet, although the expectation is that a decision on this will be made at a Board meeting next week. It has to do with finalizing plans for how long these aircraft will remain in the fleet.
