The Bugs in Virgin America’s New High-Tech Flights/NYTimes Tech

The system called RED on all new Virgin American flights consists of a built in touch screen monitor on the headrest of each seat which allows the passenger to watch live tv, order movies, interact in chat rooms with other passengers and even more. The only problem is that the system is down often which leads to dissatisfaction and disappointment of the passengers. I hope that Virgin can work out the kinks to the system I would like to take a fight when the system is perfected.

This would be perfect for many, especially i know for me it would be the best thing ever because i get bored very easily and this would be perfect to keep me busy for a little while.

That seems pretty amazing. No one would look at flying in the same way again. I just read an article about Nasa cutting down the noise during a flight and was just thinking that if Virgin Atlantic and NASA came together, they would build a heaven in the sky for the avid jet setter.

This seems pretty interesting. I know Jet Blue has some TV on their flights, but this sounds much more interactive and enjoyable. If it causes a disruption then it should probably be removed. Amazing anyway.
