So WN's just like AS's E175 with no plugs in the back of the plane. If you are going to send a plane mid com it should have a plug at each seat. As to the actual news, I have mixed feeling. It's a good news for their longer flights but not great for short hop day trippers. SFO-JFK $8 but SFO-LAX-SFO $16
