Not to mention that each movie loop is padded with a couple of inane fillers, infomercials, "Everybody Loves Raymond" and other assorted garbage, so they only show the movie every 4 hours instead of every 2.5.
As an AA Executive Platinum, I am just as disgusted by their IFE offerings as you and I make the current system. Trust me, the new system upgrade that is already in process will be a huge step above. It won't, sadly, be as good as QF, but it will be a great improvement.
