Chockdee, long haul on Classics is dull too - just a little less so as there is more to do!
I'm not really a Classic diehard - I flew 744s before I flew 74Cs. I now fly both short and long haul on the 74Cs and it it a much more interesting job. I do a lot more landings now.
However, my employer will be fitting our Classics with glass soon. I'll let you know how it goes!
