Notably, the new F cabin is fully enclosed from floor to ceiling, has a reduction from 8 seats to 6 total, had virtual windows for the center cabins and features video-based room service ordering.
Business and Economy cabins have also been refreshed, but not completely overhauled.

You can't even compare him to Logan Paul, him and his brother should be banned from EK. I was disappointed that EK allowed that sort of BS to happen in-flight.

Actually the WIFI transmitter on a consumer drone is far, far less powerful than the telecom radio on a typical mobile telephone. And we know lots of careless people leave their phones turned on throughout a flight.

I don’t go out of my way to watch them but in this case I was interested to see what the suites were like from a pax (loose meaning in this instance) perspective. Whilst I can see some merits of this one in particular, I do personally find the excitability and volume control slightly irritating. I personally wouldn’t like to be on a flight in the same cabin with them.

Why is EK using the new 777 exclusively for BRU and GVA?
Casey's vlog showed the cabin and it looked like he was the only guy in FC.

I imagine this was on purpose. At minimum I'd suspect that they would seat everyone in the other aisle to ensure they aren't annoyed by him. Wouldn't be surprised if there were 3 paying pax on the other side. I also wouldn't be surprised if EK was willing to fly an empty cabin considering it a cost of marketing. All that said, to produce an 8 minute video he probably wasn't filming for longer than an hour. I hope his energy levels come down a bit when the camera is off...

Bloggers will go further and further to catch followers. Expect more stupid unnecessary things.

If there were any other passengers on that flight (there may have been, but they were not visible), they would most likely have had their full length doors closed and not (or hardly) been aware of the commotion. To demand your money back would therefore have been more than a bit excessive. The case of the pop-up shop is different as it did inconvenience others (I think, I did could not stand watching that drivel for long enough to get to the point where the shop was set up). So 'compensation' would have been appropriate in that case (and believe me, I am not into the 'compensation culture at all, I am more one of 's%^t happens')

And Emirates is very happy to entertain this sort of thing as it is effective and free publicity. You may think that potential F customers don't watch Casey Neistat's vlogs, but I think we would all be surprised....

These cities have less frequency compared to say LHR and the flights are relatively short. As they don't have enough aircraft fitted with the new F/J, there is less of a chance of substitution if they keep it on the BRU/GVA routes.
If they used it on a route such as LHR with many different frequencies, it is more likely for frequent substitutions. As LHR might be more "premium", passengers are more likely to be angrier if the aircraft gets substituted.
Once they have enough aircraft with the new product, it is is likely they will get swapped out of BRU and GVA to other routes.
