I flew the Boeing 737-900 from IAH to SJC last night. It was a brand spanking new aircraft, and reasonably comfortable in the F cabin. What was surprising, though, was that there were no Audio or Video amenities - no overhead video, not even somewhere to plug in a headset. (Of course the good thing with that was that I spared Mr Smisek's 'welcome'!)

You'd be hard-pressed to purchase a new car with no audio entertainment.. how does UA manage to score a new plane without it? I guess they did not upgrade to the 'sports package'.
