At least AC's seats have the screen installations. What I couldn't figure when on one of my WestJet flights is why they would take delivery of a new aircraft with seats that had no cut-out for the screens that were going to be installed at a later date. Would it not make sense to have factory installed videoscreens, or at least the cut-outs? The backs of these seats were smooth leather that would have to be cut open for screen installation.

I see I have a 175 on my flight to EWR in late March, so maybe there'll be some IFE by then.
