13) Is CO going to 3-3-3 for the 787
- JS - Yes. Absolutely. It will be a much more comfortable plane in general. The 3-3-3 will be ~17.5” seat width.
14) What about in-seat entertainment/Internet for domestic?
- LK - Yes! We are trying to do it, and we’re not sure if it will be just free BlackBerry/SMS only or ~$10 full Internet or something else, but it is something that is in the works. LK is more cautious than we are to make such a thing available, 'cause he thinks (probably rightly so) that the rest of the world isn't as inclined as we are. Also, it would probably be either something like LiveTV OR Internet, but not both, since the two would compete with each other for customers making neither particularly profitable. Some of the 739s coming in to the fleet next year will not have the old tape-based system, but the decision will be a fleet-wide decision, and it will be made in the near future. But there is big cost to deliver it.
