I had the same reaction as him when I saw it.
CX also uses those seats for LONG-HAUL routes
KA uses it for SHORT-HAUL routes
hardly any confusion or sneakiness there.
ithe KA first class seat is now the top short haul dedicated first class seat on earth.
if Mr Webb would like lower standards and a simple recline seat like the rest- he should zip it and fly mainland airlines!!!
seriously- even when KA/CX improve their product to the top people complain.....
