Several people on FT speak to the powers that be at AC and have relayed the fact that they have a fix which, last I read, was delayed due to fire testing or something. It does as you say appear to be taking a little too long but as I’ve posted I don’t personally feel AC is prioritizing it as much as they could - probably because they’re still filling J and occasionally giving out token coupons that force people to fly more AC. And some might comment on a new reluctance from SDs to provide the requisite form.

Must be a new FA/SD on these planes then. I can’t believe anyone who flies regularly on the afflicted planes hasn’t seen it before.
