I personally visited the aircraft and found them to be in relatively good shape.
So, to clarify, the last three 767's which were not XM'd have gone through very recent refurbishment (changed to 24/223 with 38" pitch, 23.5" width and 7" recline in J seats) ... I'm just wondering what the folks earlier in this post were flying if they had lav door falling off, torn seats/headrests, etc... I don't mind the less pitch and recline, although like the thought of a wider seat, but can't imagine that there is still broken and torn equipment after the so-called refurbishment. Can anyone enlighten me? I really want to continue flying AC from hnl-yvr-hnl but hate the thought of the plane not getting a little TLC from AC.
