I won't be holding my breath waiting. Or maybe I should, in case I need it to blow into a tube to re inflate the seats. As a bonus, AC could add breathalizer to the tube to keep the FAs informed of whether or not a passenger should be cut off from drink service.
Here is how AC seems to have handled a different issue:
The 788/789 pod trays have had problems since early on with peeling laminate. I remember reading that AC and the supplier have fixed the issue. Maybe for new deliveries.... The 787-9 that I flew to Vegas on Wed. had a fix. A 2 inch by 9 inch piece of stick-on plastic (ContactPaper), poorly trimmed and wrapped around to hold the laminate partially down.
