Thanks for the much-need feedback, I appreciate it. But I actually found a picture of this exact seat on Cathay Pacific (31A), and it looks bad beyond belief. I'm actually quite angry:

By the way, are you referring to 31A on Cathay Pacific, or on another airline? I've seen pictures of 31A on United and it's fantastic! Not only does it have A LOT more legroom (with nothing in front of you), but it also has a window!
