An inside source has suggested to me that the LOPA calls for 60 new BF seats which are a product not currently flying on any carrier. And economy will be 3-4-3 throughout, including the E+ cabin.

I'd bet against SYD converting, at least initially.

But both of those designs are old and installing a product built 5+ years ago is bad, right? I'm sure I've read that once or twice on these forums.
