Yes and no. The seats themselves have marginally more pitch; however, the recline is much greater then domestic. As a rule, you can sleep somewhat due to the recline and personal space when not sleeping is somewhere between normal and exit-row domestically. Expect to be tired and a little stiff coming off a TPAC/TATL, but not near as crazed as 10-18 hours in the back of a DC-9-50 would be. I found a sleeping pill and a book left me slightly more rested then doing LAX-ORD in plain economy would.
