3. Some of the older birds do have issues with some of the seats. They can be manually adjusted when the electrics are on the blink.
As AS now owns VX, it is on AS management to maintain their reputation.
1. No sound. Video and touch screen operated properly.
2. Agreed. It was the lack of a service resolution I found disappointing. No vegetarian wants to hear their only option is dead flesh. For the record, I had the filet, which while it was overdone (what beef on a plane usually isn't?), was tasty with the chimichurri sauce.
3. Agreed, which is why I played the role of mechanic onboard this flight.
Your last sentence is the only one I have a question with. Shouldn't there still be responsibility with VX until they're operating under a single operating certificate?
