Thanks for the shout out. First off, I agree that Y is actually a decent Y. Forgetting IFE, which is getting better on other airlines, the comfort of the seat, and the service, have been on par with CO, WT on BA, and others.
With regards to food, I personally enjoy the meals. I haven't had an F meal in quite a while, but for C/Y, I've generally (with some exceptions,) had pretty good meals.

F: It's very similar to CO's BF. Both are 2-2-2, (on the 772), and both are fully lie-flat. I've always seen them as similar products. I never think about the comfort of the seat in relation to other seats, as I've found them OK, but I will try to be conscious of that next time. But we do agree that it's a Biz product at best, and nothing more.
My problem with CW is the density. One of the things I prefer on CO and LX over BA and UA is the width of the seat and the total area. I feel that I have room to move around, store things... On BA and UA, with the 2-4-2 and 2-2-2 configs (744/772 and 763 respectively,) it's a lot tighter.
