Good question. I can tell you this about the 767 on Domestic. We have what... 11 of those airplanes? Most flight attendants rarely fly those because they are few and far between. These are the typical reasons that I run into for not being able to show all movies in 1st Class in the 767.
1. The tapes are sealed in the Transatlantic drawer.
2. The tapes for DOMESTIC (i.e....no Dutch or French subtitles) are missing.
3. The deck of 8 Hi-8 VCR's is growling/ hissing and generally not being cooperative.
4. It takes 30 minutes to setup properly and being domestic departure there are just not enough Flight Attendants to handle pre-departers...meal verification and boarding. (Since we only can get on the aircraft about 40 minutes prior to departure usually)
5. Most of the flight attendants are not familiar with the operation of the 767 system. (It's not like the A330 where you just turn it on and it's done)
Now, you are correct. The movies are ALL supposed to be played on the 767 1st class. I try to make an effort to do so however it is generally a total disaster trying to do so.
The 767 is generally not handled well by ALL department. It's mostly international and when I fly it, I have to watch catering VERY CLOSELY. They don't know the airplane either and forget everything or put everything in the wrong place.
Yes, there are instructions on how to set it up however, it's like reading Greek.
Sorry that this is occurring. I will email management to see if a memo can be sent out WITH better instructions to correct this problem.
