Reduced F seats from 18 to 14.
That said, the former UA sleeper seats had about 62 inch pitch and you could side sleep in a Z position they were so wide.
They didn't go flat on the back but the leg rest went horizontal so they were more comfortable than the J class ski slopes.
Today is definitely an upgrade -- however, the UA GF product today is one of the poorest F products on the market -- both hard and soft.
