DirecTV then switch to SKY or another European carrier.

Only in BF, but it can be readily expanded into Y once CO can afford to do so.

In case any one is wondering, here is the latest on the 752:
6 out of 41 in the fleet are now completed. No mention of a projected completion date.

Just a heads up for folks scheduled to fly on a AVOD 752, there are standard power plugs UNDER the economy seats. These are NOT (stupid) "empower" ports, but plugs that take regular US/UK/euro plugs.

Standard 110V outlets are going to be a major improvement

Bring on the 110 VAC for my laptop, with GPS cable to the window. My own "Airshow".
