They'll find out some way to sell/use the data and the cameras will pay for themselves.
Besides, if airlines are ripping out TVs, relatively low capital cost, from backseats of very expensive aircraft I doubt its because of the cost of the TVs.
Maybe the TVs need hefty wiring for the power. Maybe they break often with kids punching them. But the cameras might not have that many problems, and therefore be cheap (besides, with a a wide angle lens, one can deal with many passengers)
- alistairSH 7y agoWeight is the primary motivator for removing setback entertainment systems. Why have them, when most passengers have iPads or laptops. A WAP weighs less than several hundred "TV" screens and the supporting wiring.
- vxNsr 7y agoThe primary reason I heard was the copper, apparently the weight of the screen is minimal compared to the wiring it takes to set up each seat, I doubt a camera would be any different.
