BIK, have had this on all types for ages now but not necessarily all aircraft!!

767-2s don't but the 300s sure do! An interesting example of 'rubbish in, rubbish out' a while back when all of our rotate and airborne speeds were miles too high and a massive 'blip' lit up. Seems when they factored in the 'standard domestic weights' instead of 'actual' weight that the 'blip' dissappeared again.

Not sure which of the 737 variants have them (or how many) but they've certainly got them. Interesting little back and forth sometimes between the fleets about 'lies, damn lies and statistics'!

Led to believe that they are a real eye opener at times. QFs ones are de-identified and AIPA deals with it. Used as a 'trend' tool for FLT OPS and if bad enough, then the union comes calling to have a chat.
