(The information below taken from Cameron Bowerman over at Airliners.net - run a search for the number N289MT on that site - it's been re-christened since Cameron took his image but I can't quite read it on my pic - "Saint something or other")

It's about time airlines used their many screens for more than just flight IDs.
