(Slight exaggeration)
Yea, but what color is the horse?
It is all about personal preference, but I do agree a little bit. There's an expectation now that with a major airline no long-haul flight should ever really be without AVOD. Maybe I'm the only one who thinks that way, but I don't imagine so.
I don't want these on the south America routes btw, those are mine! UA flies more appropriate planes to Central/South America (northern) at least. It's pretty much all 737s which are decent but if you're flying overnight to BOG it sucks if you're in J and can't lie flat, but that's just a luxury. It's a short enough flight. The 757 is a better choice but they only do it during high season.
