This results in a crazy config with J, then Y, then W and then again Y.

The picture of the seat map you included in your post is the 1st one we see here on this forum. So thank you for having share it with us ^
I have to say that I had hesitations. I mean, reading your post, I immediately thought about Quick Change, but I was wondering "where is the W cabin ?" So I checked the regular config on AF site and W is from row 19 to 21. And we don't see these rows on your seat map because it's a different cabin.

PS : LAX is supposed to receive this config from July 6 on AF072/069, so it seems they are on schedule ;-)
Thanks for the comprehensive response.

Has anyone flown this configuration yet? I'm just wondering whether I'd be better to choose an Exit Seat or a Seat Plus seat (I'm 6' 4").
