"I can't imagine the displays being used are very high quality" ??? if they provide the amount of savings outlined I doubt spending extra 200K on quality screens will be an issue
Don't know about Emirates, but Etihad had two cameras available to watch on the in-flight entertainment screen (IIRC that was on 777), and quality looked so poor it reminded me of the very first 640x480 webcam I had in early 2000's.
Although that's probably regulatory stuff. Most governments don't let arbitrary airtcaft do aerial topography-grade stuff, and companies err on the side of caution.
If they provide the savings outlined, those savings will be pocketed as profit. Productivity improvements don't mean employees get to work less, either.
> Productivity improvements don't mean employees get to work less, either.
The economics literature begs to differ, though it's not a 1:1, as the improvements are usually specific to an area of the market while the labor market is much less specific, which actually means that the benefits are less because they're dispersed over a wider group of people, marginally improving the lives of people who didn't even have productivity improvements in the work they do.
