Sat next to a pilot a couple months back that flies Airbus' and he said when they put in the Wifi they took out the Ch9 (maybe that circuit, or something to that effect). Wonder if we will ever get it back...

Just announced, pmCO 757-200s (16J) will have a cabin refresh, that is to include adding "From the Flight Deck" (aka Channel 9).

I'm running about 50-50 this year, mostly on pmUA 757s BOS<>SFO, with a few TPAC EWR 77Ws in the mix. I find that many of the captains whom I ask personally will do so if asked. I'm less successful when I ask an FA to ask the captain.
