Ohhhh, there's no doubt that a political discussion wouldn't last long. Hubby, to the right, is watching a Michael Moore docu-crappa on his IPad. Mummy, on the left, is watching Robert Klein comedy on the IFE. Snotty teenage kids are three rows back.

I'm watching Tracy Morgan on the IFE and surfing.

I was on a transcon DH the other day on a domestic 767 and all the content on the IFE was for a fee. Am I missing something? $6 for a movie wasn't going to happen.

Is there free content on the IFE that I just wasn't finding? Even the TV shows were $2.

I think, but can't say for sure, that some of our international jets are still only capable of the pay per view stuff.

Let's keep in mind what jets they replace [757] when we negotiate rates for the 737-900 and the A320neo/321neo

Well, it'd been an incorrect statement to say she is as flat as me. I think I might have more underboob.

I'll take a picture and post here shortly.

True. There is about a $6-$7/hr and $5/hr difference in our 739 A and B pay to our 757 pay for 2012. No A321 in the pay tables but it's obvious that both will be 757 killers/replacements.
