The main gripe I have with Virgin, is the staff on virgin Blue. I really can’t stand their ditsy, over-familiar attitude. I’ve actually changed to Qantas as a result.
In contrast, the IFE for Qantas is going to be Flash based. I discussed it with them (not that I had any influence at all in this matter) when I was doing usability for the A380 and they just didn’t get it.
Lisa - I actually like the over-familiarity with Virgin Blue, I much prefer it to the sourpusses on United or any of those airlines. I can’t help smiling at the Virgin Blue crew when they smile at me, they just seem so ditzy but genuine.
The last flight I had with Qantas the entertainment system broke for our row of seats - they restarted it about 20 times and it still wouldn’t work. I’m hoping that open source will at least fix some of these problems as you have a lot more developers thinking about the problem, rather than one overworked team trying to develop new innovations as well as keep the old one running.
this sounds fantastic!
