Anyone know the latest status on the reconfig program? Website says 5 a/c have been completed, but I recall the site has said this for several years!
Cathay Pacific Asia Miles - Status of new "Regional Biz Class" seatsView Full Version : Status of new "Regional Biz Class" seats SFO_FT Jul 11, 06, 1:15 am Anyone know the latest status on the reconfig program? Website says 5 a/c have been completed, but I recall the site has said this for several years! sxc Jul 11, 06, 1:18 am I've been on quite a few regional flights where the old seats still remain. I don't know if this is a conscious decision to postpone rollout since not many people like the new seats, or whether they just haven't been able to take the older aircraft out of service. hamallu Jul 11, 06, 7:05 pm From what I understand it that the reconfig programme is scrapped, however, new builds are to be delivered with the NRBC seats. Cathay will then retrofit the entire fleet when a new RBC seat is found, which is most likely after the new FC and new longhaul BC seats are rolled out. But, I could be wrong. I would be rather pleased if they've installed a NNRBC on B-HNQ, which is to be delivered in a fortnight's time. SFO_FT Jul 12, 06, 12:55 am Given the small number of a/c with the NRBC, I too assumed that they are only avail on newly delivered a/c. CX is already talking about a NNRBC, as well as new FC and BC seats??? |
