Unlikely to happen. It seems that only the reduced - 24 seats only - WBC will receive the AVOD PTVs, whereas Y will have to do with new flatscreen monitors with enhanced picture quality. Also, 2 more rows of Y will be added. I don't know whether the entire Y-seats will be replaced or just the seat covers.
As for the reduction in capacity to the Caribbean, most of it is due to increased competition on the routes involved, with CUR being affected the most. Flights to BON will be reduced because as from the summer timetable, the LIM flights will become nonstop B772 sectors, precluding the need for the BON technical stop, which carries very little local traffic anyway.
