Also the leg rest does not descend far enough for anyone over 5'-4" in that normal position. (Things are moderately better in the not quite lay flat position.) There is absolutely no functional work or storage space in the "capsule". And when positioned for eating, the tray sits too low and doesn't slide towards the passenger, thus making this an uncomfortable activity. Thank goodness I was only on the plane for 2-1/2 hours! (Though I have two more of these segments later this year but these are in F...BTW TG narrowly wins out over SQ's new regional J seats as "the worst in the world"!)
