Pucci, my issue isn't so much with the content, more the quality of the system. As you know, most of the 777s don't have AVOD which is just a little bit last-century. And on my return leg, three of the looped channels were unwatchable either due to a bad picture or faulty sound. Content is a case of different strokes for different folks, but FWIW, I also loved Made in Dagenham and even quite liked Tamara Drewe

If only they had AVOD on the 777s.......

But at least some of them do. YMMC - a 772 - had a system that responded to user inputs to select and control audio and video programs - stop, start, rewind, etc.

That's AVOD.

Over the past two evenings, I have read this entire thread. A sad commentary on a life, as Pucci would note, "far removed from the days of transition to solid food". For a complaint that involved a bad glass of wine, vast amounts of unrelated, bur nonetheless interesting, commentary has been spilled

Re: bad wine. Why not merely hand the bottle to the FA with the request: Please pour this back in the cat?

Re: Canadians for being Canadians. Alternatively: Canadians for being condescending...and the alliteration maintains.

Re: the sniffing comment about people who use upgrades for the "trip of a lifetime in F" struck a chord. Mrs. N and I made one of those last May. From my increasingly myopic point of view, that statement could fairly be labeled "Canadian"...oops...condescending. We plan another such trip in mid-January
and another in October . Should you happen to be so unfortunate as as to be scheduled on any of our flights, no worries, the "trip of a lifetime" topic will not be broached by us.

Well you can always do a trip report on here for everyone else to see.

Having used AA more and more over the past few years I long for the days of BA IFE. If we just look at the Comedy section of TV, BA will have 20 episodes of 6 or 7 different shows, at least. AA has something like 8 episodes from 4 shows and these rarely get changed. Movies are the same situation, made even worse on AA as their AV is not strictly on demand, films are in a loop

I think BA does a good job on their IFE although in fairness I have never had a bad experience with non-functioning or partially functioning equipment. The only criticism I could make is that when you use noise canceling headphones (Bose QC3 ) even the first volume level is a little high, but this is only an issue when I watch TV to sleep

Anyway, back on BA117 next Saturday and looking forward to it, especially before my AA domestic flights

Just typed 6 paragraphs about our BOS-LHR-CDG trip this month, skipped over to check some quotes and, when I returned, the above quote is all that remained of my labors. There is ample reason to support my association with the International Fraternity of Luddites.
