I would be pretty pissed if I were to book a business class ticket and ended up on a 738 w/ no IFE; no EmPower... makes DL look like a cheapo international carrier.

This is pretty much standard practice with the US carriers; AA does the same on its flights to Central America/Carribbean/non-deep South America - selling the premium cabin as Business Class.
