Not sure if he had all his facts straight but it seems strange to install as these seats and then have to take them out to install TV's and equipment.
I noticed the 739 was very quiet at least up front and I love the Bins/Sky ceiling! At least my flight was only around 55 minutes.
I agree with you! The plane was great. It was new and clean and the Boeing Sky Interior/Bins are fantastic. I just can't understand why a new plane would be delivered without IFE.
