You're trying to make some esoteric point that I don't think anybody understands. If the Captain orders the IFE to remain off, off it will remain. If he cites lack of confidence in the system or requires less unnecessary electrical load, then that is that. He will be responsible for hs decisions as he would be if he told racist jokes on the PA- I'm not sure what that has to do with anything. Can we bring the discussion back to some common sense? It's time the CC realised that they must be part of the real commercial world and realise what is going on outside will impact in BA. Many of the CC themselves appear to be unsure exactly why they are going to be striking- this is going to be a humiliating failure, announced as a 'glorious' victory by the strike leaders as people come in like sheep to work rather than lose their jobs and staff travel!
