I know indeed and hope it will be a nice improvement, but is it going to replace NEO? My (very possibly mistaken) understanding was that it was going to replace the seat on the aircrafts with the current European (reclinable, etc) configuration and not the current domestic+A318 (NEO) seat. I'll be very happy if I am wrong!
I was not amongst those who tried the new seat choices so no idea how it is although we are both aware of a couple of positive details so assuming normal recline, I hope that this will be an improvement indeed.
