Southwest is finally mounted up and ready to go, it has been difficult to get a plane off-line and down long enough to get the installations done and on-line. having flown every test hour since the first system was mounted, i can tell you it has come a long way and is getting better all the time. so far i have had up to 10 hour long flights without interuption and that isn't half bad. the system is fast, fun and i stream video to and from all the time, catch up on my missed episodes of the "office" and "prison break" etc. so it's nice. it will be a few months before you might be lucky enough to get on a flight with the system on it. but be patient we are dealing with the FCC and FAA, not to mention competitors that would rather just as well not see it come to fruition. the system is ready, but the road to get there is a tough one. well this next week you may start to find feedback, as the first “public” flights will start. i can attest to you, having had the system at my disposal “in flight” for about 6 months now it is pretty awesome.

As for profitability, only time will tell. For ANY of these providers. Bring it! Well, the fact that these two airlines are going to demo this Row 44 system means it must be up and working.

As for profitability, only time will tell. For ANY of these providers.

Once SW and Alaska actually offer it to to flyers will I jump on the Row44 bandwagon. Talk the talk...walk the walk..man.
