Oryx crashes
is it me or is oryx a pile of steaming?
On 5 of the last 7 QR flights I've taken, all in J, oryx has crashed in some fashion. On the other two I didn't even bother.
This evenings entertainment is an arrow in the top left of the control pad on the a350 from sin.
At least the a350 has volume controls though, the 787 system was obviously designed by someone who had never used an IfE before - 5 presses to change volume, and a lag time when pressing pause measured in seconds.
Attentive crew, easy airport transfer (compared with LhR), and flights in J cheaper than Ba in W, in flight wifi/phone (no calls
) mean it's all good, but the IfE really lets it down.
Am I just unlucky?

As for volume control.. I usually press once on the screen to bring up the controls, and then hit the volume button.. that's two presses. Can't remember on the hand-held thingy, but I can't remember it being too complicated..
There are problems with it, sure, but I don't find them massively bothersome most of the time.
