I'm surprised. No entertainment at all or is it the normal movies from the ceiling? Don't most of the NG's have movies?

NONE..........ZIPPO...........NADA. The FA's had to give the proverbial "safety demo dance" too.

Yeah........it had 20 seats up front and three were empty, so the FA's told me to go relax and enjoy something we hardly ever get. They are on my "owe them a dinner" list!! Nice for a change, that's for sure.

Yes. They were ordered without the overhead video systems to save weight and make room for the in-seat systems that are coming. The 36-channel live TV systems will supposedly begin to be installed shortly.
