What are the current options for WiFi installation? Does Boeing offer the install with delivery, but at a higher price than what the Airlines are willing to pay for the work? I was under the impression that some frames are delivered to the airline, put into service and then have WiFi added at a later date. However, I do not know what United and Alaska are doing these days. I'm not implying that Boeing would do a better or worse job in these situations, just trying to peel the onion a bit...
...as for the maintenance resets on the pressure warning light; we experience the same thing with our IT department when workstations and/or laptops are acting up. Never seen them try to work the problem to root cause unless someone higher up the chain of command raises a stink.
Also, I have an AS Max-9 flight cross country next week and intend to fly it if not canceled or subbed.
