But it seems like the majority is forming around the idea that there is a hard, non-fabric bulkhead in front of seat 6D (even though the AS site only shows a bathroom in front of 6ABC), and no "cutout" in the bulkhead, and I'm guessing that means that there won't be as much room for my feet as in a non-bulkhead coach seat, correct?
Let's make this even more complicated than it needs to be. Even though the seat map shows a bathroom at 6ABC, it's entirely possible that you'll get a plane without a bathroom there. Some of the -900s have a mid-cabin lav, some have two closets. You won't know until you're onboard.
That being said, I'd still shoot for the bulkhead. Either way, it's a decent seat. I really like the -900s. I just wish I could fly on them more.
