PS: leather is not as light blue as it seems in the one close up pic of the seats... it's the same leather as upgraded cabins and is alot darker in person, looks sharp!!!!
 
actually these pics were sent to me by flydcjets. so props got to him/her. thanks dcjets.

notice the "new style airbus interior" window sidewalls are now sleeker. ovearhead bins have more space with new design. and we have a touch screen cids panel which is now standard on all airbuses. can't wait till people "f" that up. lol. if you notice there are ovens onboard . these will be removed. don't know why the jumpseats are still grey though . i thought they would be in blue leather to match the cabin seats.

Wow. Now the F/A's have something other than sudoku and crossword puzzles to keep them busy on long flights. They will spend endless hours trying to figure out how it works. Then, return to fly the same trip next week and spend that same amount of time again trying to figure it out.

It will be just like the int'l 767 where, at any given moment, at least one F/A can be found standing outside the cockpit door with their head buried in the video machine closet trying to figure out how to make it work. And that control panel is only a fraction of the size of the new A321 display.
 
The could remove the magazine holders off the wall, that could save a pound or two.

Or how about a flight attendant..... :shock:

Just replace him/her with a coke (liquid form) machine....Since thats what its boiling down to.

BTW, looks good on the interiors. Although with the p/leather seats, there will undoubtedly be countless electrons and ions what are agitated and inconvenienced by all the internet discussion of pen marks on the seat backs on the p/leather seats. Certainly there's plenty of that discussion re: the F class seats.
 
Our flights are already staffed with FAA minimum F/A's on all domestic flights. Only those with LODO's and T/A flights have one extra. Sorry but a vending machine is not qualified to evacuate an aircraft.

Didn't that console get yanked with the Envoy refurb on the 762s? If Tempe is so weight conscious, that would be a big one.

There aren't any more multi-channel IFE units, so in theory the only thing left would be something to provide programming to all the main screens in the cabin, which I could be done with a single deck.
