1/14/18 UA836 PVG-ORD on a 772. No. I asked a flight attendant who immediately answered that the captain would not put Channel 9 on because with social media you can tape everything. Later on, I mentioned to the captain that the part I most enjoy about flying United is the possibility to listen to Channel 9. He answered that the new planes don't have channel 9. What do I care about new planes when I still have to fly on a 772 with the 2-4-2 configuration in Business? If this 772 is a new plane (#2704), it's rather sad. And the screen was showing the availability of Channel 9.
