@tdracer - yet another thanks for the insight into the loss-of-lift dynamics in the 767.

Did Boeing apply any "lessons learned" from the 767 lift-blanking to the 737 classics and NGs, as the larger engines required a location change from under-wing to "forward and upward?"

I realize the Classic design was already in production (1984) before the Lauda Air accident (1991). I just wondered if there were 737 retrofits of extra interlocks added post-Lauda, or if the 737NG already had those, or if the thrust dynamics are just different even with the more "767-like" engine position in newer 737s.
