I've always hated the Air Canada pods because of these factors....and they were too short for my 6ft3 length. Like these guys learned nothing from the design of other pods, includeing the Air Canada pods.
Other than they are a refined version of the same design used by Air NZ since 2005 and follow on from the Virgin Atlantic product, and are wider and longer than the Air Canada one (which is similar to the now dated Cathay product seen only on the A340s).

Do a bit of research before jumping to conclusions, the Air Canada one was a cheap copy. They are very different.
