Nice article. Thanks for pointing it out. It is an unusual angle. >In case some of you are not familiar with United Airlines use of >metric, their magazine uses dual units throughout, I didn't know that. I see that it is not a rigorously enforced editorial policy. You can see many unconverted units. However considering the context, it is a good 9 out of 10. >The in-flight navigation map, viewed via the back-of-the-seat monitors >on the Boeing 777, uses dual units for everything, This is also good news. In-flight entertainment is separate equipment bought in by airlines. Upgrades and options migrate across customers. Once you see a software feature on one airline, you are more likely to see similar features on other airlines.
