Default Something to consider...

Just in case anybody thinks TV in the seatbacks is something only JetBlue has on smaller aircraft, check out Air Canada's E175's:

http://www.aircanada.com/en/about/me...braer_175.html

FWIW, Air Canada is installing this system (Thales) on ALL of their aircraft from the CRJ to the A340. Since it is wireless (other than power) it is easy to install on almost any aircraft. How much longer before another North American legacy carrier moves forward???

What will be our next innovation???

(And yes, I realize that our PEOPLE make a huge difference, but so does LiveTV.)

Is the Thales system just taped or is it TV? I just see it listed as entertainment system so I just wonder if it is live or not.

Hello, I am looking for a leather flight jacket. I was wondering if anyone could tell me where Jet Blue gets their leather flight jackets?
I guess I could just ask the next time I see one of the guys jump seating but I thought this might be quicker.
Thanks!!!

Check out Gibson and Barnes for leather jackets.

http://www.gibsonandbarnes.com/

This is the company that Independence Air custom ordered their jackets from, I really like mine... high quality and very good customer service from my experience.

Jetblue pilots' jackets are from Perrone Leather in NY. I don't have the address or phone but I know they have a website and I am sure that you could find it using Google.

It will be the primary system offered on the 787 and broadband is optional, so I'd say that TV should be a given once there is a satellite connection.

Love FlyI, but those are the ugliest leather jackets out there.
