Will be interesting to see if Alliance stick with the configuration or introduce some J seats. Also, screens will be a welcome addition.

I'd actually be hoping they get a full refit. The old seatback TVs and in-armrest controllers are very dated and were barely useable when I last flew their E190 in 2016.

I would have to agree, screens in seats are so last century, and usually have boxes on the floor that impact feet room. The Wifi internet JetBlue offer is not an option here as there is no coverage so a cabin revamp with Boardconnect streaming seems a logical solution.

JetBlue was forced to replace its E190 fleet due to competition. ie: Competitors upgrading to A220's and losing market share. A side effect was bigger aircraft and lower running costs.

If you put the same analogy into Australian skies, QQ don't really have any major competition in their market so with that in mind there is no need to over capitalise these planes. I expect that they will do the minimum to create a safe, reliable service as per their lease contracts.

I suspect you're right. I was arguing against the B6 IFE on the E190 being of any real value these days. I've flown their A320/321 since, and the older version there was slightly better than E190, the stage 2 refit a major upgrade..

For some unknown reason, no doubt mechanical, N945UW remained in SDM from last Friday to Wednesday, it then ferried to Oakland 07.56/09.12 PST, it has ferried now OAK/HNL 10.12PST/2.07pmHST, and at the moment is 30 minutes from HNL.

Alliance E190 N945UW is about to land in MAJ from HNL for fuel and is currently scheduled to arrive in BNE this afternoon at or after 1:35pm, local time.
