Wow I am amazed by the amout of work that goes in to adding WiFi to an airplane. Incredible.
Seems kind of crazy a brand new plane didn’t have the Wifi installed at the factory.
What an incredibly annoying host. Thank goodness I can skip over her stupid comments and grating laugh.
I would of thought wifi would have been an option as an add on at the factory vice a aftermarket add on done by the airline.
I really hope all that installation work is approved procedure from Boeing. I wonder what kind of regression testing they do so that they can be sure that none of the other sub systems were affected during the install.
Agree with Joseph M’s comment. Can’t believe this isn’t done at the factory.
Also wonder how much it costs for AA to retrofit each plane.
