NEXT new Rouge 767 will lose the AVOD as will the 319's.
I assume the E175 will also lose the entertainment system. ( again that's another new AC company)??? however someone else might know for sure, what cuts are planned for the 175's
PS the new Premium Rouge seating means the seat in the middle on the 319 will be empty like LH in Europe. 767 will get a domestic business class seat.
Get your facts straight rather than confusing people here with inaccurate information.
E75s with Sky Regional (not owned by AC, just a contractor operating under AC Express) are staying exactly as AC had them configured before, same seats and AVOD, but preferred 34" seats were added at the front of the cabin. Seating capacity remains the same.
Rouge 319s and 763s transferred to Rouge, which is owned by AC, lose AVOD and have slimline seats installed. 319s have euro-style blocked middle J, 763s have the same domestic J narrowbody seat as AC mainline but no AVOD. First few Y rows are 35", it hardly sucks.
Not all 319s and 763s are being transferred from AC to Rouge. AC mainline will be operating 763s with AVOD and pods for years to come as 787s allow transferring of older 763s to Rouge.
