I prefer the Airbus 31x and 32x models without the entertainment systems so much more. On United the Boeing had fucking ads playing NON STOP THE ENTIRE FLIGHT and because I boarded early I'd try to turn off as many around me as possible because somehow the flying public does not mind bright flashing annoying lights in their faces for HOURS.

This is a United thing, not a Boeing/Airbus thing.

We do. United has just positioned their economy products a hair below Delta by, in part, pulling off crap like this.

"somehow does not mind" wasn't about airline choice, it was about people not hitting the off button.
