Agree - they don't seem to be making much use of the new system they've gone to such efforts to install. (This is based on a very superficial inspection since I never really use IFE anyway. Needless to say, the map was the one IFE feature I used to find mildly interesting.)

And speaking very loosely of inflight video stuff, is anyone else distressed by the smarmy 'information' video they've taken to shewing before landing at YYZ ? Even the first time round it's annoying as hell - I would really rather be collecting my thoughts while looking unmolested out the window than being interrupted by the GTAA droning on and on in self-congratulation. After you've heard it about 6 times it's completely insufferable. And oddly enough, it contains no explanation of why landing at YYZ almost always means sitting on the apron in front of the gate for 15 minutes waiting for the ground crew to turn up. </digressive rantings>
