I think Jeanske is turning into a British Great War Army Officer! If in doubt a completely pig-headed attitude will bulldoze through!!! 😉

I doubt highly you have viewed the interior of every single Russian manufactured aircraft jeanske. I’m sure there are some other than the latest IL96s that have some form of entertainment system is.
Its an impossible question to realistically answer though, especially in relation to Russian airliners when you get such prejudicial opinions.

As i said, they still have to invent the wheel…
No I don’t think so. The TU 154 had three variants in it’s series before the TU204 came as a replacement. There was the fuel-guzzling and with unreliable engines TU 154, Then there was the TU 154M with more efficient and reliable engines and a stretch, and the TU154B2 with another stretch and better effiency. So many improvelents, and the last variant was still not as efficient as the MD80 series.

Nope, had a look at some cabin view pictures, and none of the airlines had televisions
Not even it’s own radio channels?

Nope, had a look at some cabin view pictures, and none of the airlines had televisions. Never saw a Russian airline with entertainment system, well, the IL 96 propably has. I’ll check.

Depends on the airline of course, just like with a western type. If someone wants to add PTVs in they can.

Of course not, the Russians still have to invent the wheel!
Depends on the airline of course, but I think it would be a bit expensive to fit these systems in the old aircraft now. The TU154 still requires three cockpit crews, doesn’t that say enough?
I’ll look for some information about that…
