Quality equipment.. hmmm, with this kind of use there is soon not much left of the quality.
On my last 3 trips with these birds Iīve experienced this:
- Armrest would not stay up.
- Seat wouldnīt go down all the way.
- Glitches in both head phone connection and power socket and reading light.
- Control lamp for seat being upright for take off didnīt work.
- When I pushed button to deploy table, horizontal panel to side consol came
loose completely, giving me full view over fellow passangers feet.
You can also see quite a lot of wear and tear, misfitting panels etc.
And this is on planes that are less than two years old. I can hardly think that wouldīve been the case if not used for leisure flights.
