It seem strange to me that Qantas have opted for no in seat entertainment on 220’s but they have quite long legs, are they planning on skinny east coast routes?
Also, I can’t imagine it being worth while for some SH pilots to be 220 rated and some Airbus rated so I imagine no 220’s for mainline, yes?

There are battery powered portable wifi media servers shoved into overhead lockers - airlines don't even need to add systems that are powered by the aircraft these days.
Saves weight and saves maintenance costs on TVs/controls. All travellers carry a phone, and seasoned travellers carry a tablet or laptop.
