PHOTO ESSAY
On the Record
Somebody had the good sense to record what was happening at the conferences. How rare was it to have competing airlines and vendors in one room working out the kinks of poor audio quality? When best to serve a meal during a movie? And what are the merits of boarding music? The airline entertainment community was on the verge of something new, and it was about to make history!
