Airlines that arew still into the angled lie flat supporters tend to fall into two categories:
1) J or F product has not been updated in the last 10 years.
2) Airline has both J/C and F (ie three cabin aircraft) with F being reserved for 180 degree lie flat. To protect the integrity and value proposition of First Class, J/C class must have angle lie flat seats. However in recent years the J class angled lie flat airline had it is lunch eaten byt the two cabin (Y and J/C) airline running the same route.
