I can't believe that they're putting the same useless 12v units in the new BC seats - why couldn't they just copy the QF socket (full power and it takes a variety of plug types). As someone else said, all the FA has to do is flip a switch - how can anyone be too busy to do that?
If it's sooooo important to use (whatever) before take off, one should make sure you have enough juice.... it's only 15-20 minutes at best!
