Thanks for sharing. Strange that the pics don't show the footrest?
Also the article states that when installed they will have an extra 5" of legroom from current configuration. I'm assuming that is only the case for those planes that have not already seen the increased pitch in F?

I didn't even make it that far, I got hit with a bunch of ads and full screen video, just closed the window....Originally Posted by SF1K

Notice how the mount or divider UNDER the seat is not evenly spaced! One seat has the floor mount on the side, while the other seat has the floor mount nearly in the middle. This means, for people trying to put their carryon bag under the seat in front of them, that one person will have to jam it into the "center" space that is supposed to be shared with the other passenger in your row.

It looks just like the mounting track is just the same as it currently is on those planes. I can't imagine they'd change it, which would be a lot more work than just replacing the seats.Originally Posted by AndyPatterson

Yeah, pitch is 41" as I understand, so same as the reconfigured planes currently have. Legroom might be slightly better if the new seatback is thinner. Per the article, seat will not have a legrest, but just a fold-out footrest. Probably just a metal bar that folds down from the back of the seat in front of you. Amtrak has this style of footrest on some of the seats on their trains. I find them pretty useless.Originally Posted by SF1K

Looks like they don't have the extra little tray that pulls out from the center, either. We like having lots of horizontal space, and will miss that little tray.Originally Posted by sltlyamusd

You mean as shown in the picture? (I didn't read the article based on what someone else said about the ads, other crap, etc) - what do those drink holders have to do with the EXTRA surface of the little tray? Not everyone uses their space in the same way - drink holders are useless to us, an extra surface is very useful.Originally Posted by beckoa

Agreed. I was really looking forward to a leg rest. These new seats look pretty underwhelming.Originally Posted by sltlyamusd

I dread them. They always seem designed for shorter individuals, and impact leg room negatively.Originally Posted by T2A
