I have this doubt for a long time...Now that we are comparing J class seat of 9W with BA, the genral opinion is 9W J class seats are any day better than BA. My question - Do most of the European based legacy carriers be it BA,LH or AF usually operate old & outdated aircraft on the Indian routes and the newest aircraft either on the transatlantic or Japan/Kangaroo Routes? Though i may not be right in my view, this is a doubt which i have for some time. Probably the reason why 9W new aircraft/seating configuration is better than BA!!!!!!!!!!!!!
