And it will not get those. But it should have been inducted at SEA and immediately flown to INT where it got the wifi kit installed and then really entered service. You might not like which systems are installed as part of the configuration but they are no longer entering passenger service without being configured to the company's spec.

UA is pushing planes into service for more than a year with no entertainment amenities.
The new deliveries taken today are fitted before flying passengers. Ones from a year ago were not. I thought I made that pretty clear in my previous post vis a vis the "10 month old post" bit.
And, FWIW, the fleet tracking site suggests we're down to only three 739s without wifi installed. That should be finished pretty quickly.
