Black belly doesn't dance in IFE
On AC33 and was was staring at the ife ignoring all the newb gawking e35 eups. Thought I was wasted drunk but I noticed the black belly fin 843 in the opening screen is not animated. I miss the old dreamliner swaying in the silly loop video...
as I was handed my stubby water bottle... Why don't they just precater that crap... Oh wait we are delayed at least an hour... Never mind

Is that newbs gawking AT e35 eups, newb e35s gawking at something after having been eup'd, or e35 eups gawking at newbs?
Furthermore, given your admission of less than optimal mental condition - are you sure there ever was an swaying animated dreamliner? Maybe it was the observer that was swaying animatedly.

I believe he was making fun of the E35Ks who eUped (for the first time ever?), while he had purchased a Latitude FP that allowed a complimentary upgrade into J, thereby making him better than everyone else.

I should have tried have her change my ticket..... because she works at an airport and knows these things.

New IFE selections.

Plane belly remains still.

But both of those routes are rare to have an e35k upgrade to J since 2014 due to numerous reasons. More business class purchases, eupgrade devaluation, eup copay, LMU, bid to upgrade, reduction in R space, etc.
