Week in Review Midday Open Thread, Part II

I felt like last week’s open thread experiment went pretty well, so let’s try it again.

Also, one question to ponder. Where do you see IFE in 2008? With American, Alaskan, jetBlue and Virgin America all upping the stakes with in-flight Wi-Fi in the year to come, the introduction of a potentially profitable frill is an exciting development. Flight Senior Editor Mary Kirby sat down with Addison Schonland at IAG to discuss the matter in a great podcast. Also, if you have 60 seconds, head over and take this survey about IFE and weigh in on what you’d like to see happen with in-flight internet.
