Well, right now according to the seatmap (LY004) it looks like it's the "new" F, showing 8 seats with 4 taken.
It'll definitely feel more crowded now with less seats available. I think them staying with the same seat and reducing the size of F will have the opposite effect on privacy (which they claim will be improved). The seats are not private at all but usually when I fly it's 1-3 people in F so it still feels somewhat private with each pax taking up 2 seats etc.
I understand them reducing the size of the F cabin due to lack of demand, but staying with the same seat while doing that is a horrible move.
