Certainly the part about having hundreds of movies is.
Precisely. There is a trade-off. And no one here is claiming that the COUA product is the best out there. Actually, I don't think too many folks are defending the UA F product at all. But the new C product is absolutely competitive in the international market in an overall basis. The seats are pretty good. The AVOD is pretty good. The food is pretty good. The lounges and the wines are lacking.
But to suggest that the new C products are wholly inferior are unrealistic IMO. Not the best, but hardly the worst out there. They're actually pretty competitive in many areas.
If that's your understanding fine, if it's factual, then CO had better update it's web site information.
We weren't talking about C, were were talking about F.
I brought in KLM's entertainment choices, because up until the new system that is still currently on a limited number of planes, KLM had more than UACO in their business class product than United did in it's First Class product.
That was the point, that one airlines BUSINESS product bested another airlines FIRST product in ONE area. Since you thought it ridiculous to compare only one area I cited a few others. Some relating to what CO "sells" as First Class, and some to UA's First and Business.
I never said hundreds, you did. I said 2-3 times, which is VERY accurate to UACO product except the newly upgraded CO 777-200. 80+ is 2 times what CO has on the 757, which according to CO.com is 40...or is my math wrong? Further I don't think UA has more than 40 movies on AVOD as of yet, and doesn't even have AVOD on most of their international fleet. At least from what I can make out from their confusing site. I see they even still offer personal video tapes on some international flights in FIRST CLASS???? Didn't that go out in the 90's for most carriers? Yeah, far from the best.
