Trying not to say too much that's already been said; have you flow US Air in Envoy? I don't feel it's fair to make such extreme remarks without having tried the product
From personal experience, I thought US Air's seat would have been more comfortable than even the Emirates J seat I flew in were it not for Emirates offering a mattress pad. I think, like many have said, the hard product in Envoy had been excellent (all seats have aisle access, the pods provide a fair amount of privacy, good storage, decent IFE, seats actually lie and feel flat) Yes, the soft product could be improved, but hard product wise, I think US had it down.
