It's not just the number but the proportion of F seats that's amazingly high here: 12 F out of 76 seats total is 15.8%. By way of comparison:

A319: 8 F out of 120 = 6.7%
E170: 6 F out of 72 = 8.3%
A320: 12 F out of 138 = 8.7%
CR7: 6 F out of 66 = 9.1%
737-7: 12 F out of 118 = 10.2%
737-9: 20 F out of 167 = 12%
737-8: at best, 20 F out of 152 = 13.2%
757-2: at best, excluding p.s., 24 F out of 182 = 13.2%
