There is a person on X who says he has left the plane before takeoff and has uploaded videos of non-functional entertainment panels: https://x.com/akku92/status/1933114664923148455

I guess it’s kind of surprising in a relatively new plane, but I encounter non functional entertainment systems relatively often. They’re not treated like the safety critical systems by any airline

[DanielleMolloy]

I thought the same but he implies that the screens were not the only tech not working (AC, seats damaged).

It is quite an intuition to decide to leave a plane in such a moment. He just escaped death and is now aggressively attacked for saying something potentially relevant.

No correlation between non-functional displays on passenger seats & possible engine failures etc.

[arccy]

They could both point to poor maintenance by the airline

[DanielleMolloy]

Sure. But it could imply a lack of maintenance.

"No correlation between non-functional displays on passenger seats & possible engine failures etc."

No. No no no. This is wrong, mistaken thinking.

A minimum standard of operations and attention to detail must be adhered to for high consequence / life critical endeavors and that behavior (culture?) must be enforced at all levels throughout the operation.

Ignore this heuristic at your peril - as either a consumer of these services or a provider who must demand high performance from your workforce.

Remember: flight attendants have (rarely exercised) critical health and life safety responsibilities. What messages do they internalize if this is the fourth flight in a row the coffee maker has been cracked and out of order ?

Swissair 111?

Correlation just helps lead you to common causes.

Not a cause but and indicator.

[padjo]

I mean technically there is a correlation, it’s just very unlikely to imply causation.

[kylehotchkiss]

Normal for Air India and not relevant to the accident. Tata has been trying to resolve the previous owners poor management of the airline.

Who leaves a plane due to entertainment being down?

You there to watch a old movie in 720p or to go somewhere?

[smcleod]

Wow the 787s look so dated compared inside compared to even a320 neos!
