Speaking of IFE on the 190's...

Almost every flight I've been on with those in the last 6 months, the XM radio has been out of commission. Is there a known issue with this (i.e., waiting for their IFE to get upgraded at some point), or just my luck. In all cases the TV was working, just not the radio. I'm one who often prefers to put that on and read or sleep, rather than watch TV, so I tend to miss it.

I've noticed this as well, either all channels are dead or it's just Hits1 that works...

Seeing your photo reminded me that in the last couple instances, not only was the XM radio completely out, but the map didn't work either. Guess they're related somehow.

I've had several flights this year where the radio has been out but the tv has worked. Usually it's the other way around. I actually prefer the radio because I like the LiveMap and to do work or watch something on my iPad.

The first Y200 A321 has been delivered. Added that information to wiki.

N966JT if anyone is interested.

If anyone's curious about the A320 cabin refresh, it looks like they aren't starting that until Fall 2017.

This was taken from a slide in the Investor Presentation that JetBlue just published.

Slides were published yesterday. ;)

The first A320 will get the new kit in Q2. After that Summer peak schedule means no conversions during that period. After Labor Day '17 they'll ramp up the mods again.

I know I'm in the minority but the longer the better. While I wouldn't mind the IFE upgrade and power outlets, I love the current A320 seats and hate to see those go. I fly a lot of transcons and I don't like those slimline seats that are on the A321.

I don't think you are in the minority, well unless you are one of the investors :p

Anyone have an Update on the A321 conversions. Also wiki updated, 708 now has Sharklets

diburning Jan 16, 2017 7:36 am

A321s should have all been completed by the end of 2016. Wiki updated to reflect this.

I feel like some of the newer E190s might have a larger screen. I was stupid and Didn't get a tail #, but it seemed much nicer than the 5XX/6XX screens.

What is a 'Y200' A321? Google didn't offer any answers.

It's an A321 with 200 'Core' aka economy seats and no Mint section.
