A couple of years ago I needed power on a flight from SF to Boston. I 
called around and this one airline (maybe United) told me that in 
addition to First, all their Business Class seats had power too. I 
splurged, yet when I sat down in my cushy Business seat I discovered 
there was no power for me after all. I raised a ruckus about 
misrepresentation and the like, but to no avail really. Found out they 
don't know, or care, what's what in their own damn planes. I would doubt 
there's a list, but it's a great idea to compile one. Any volunteers?
