Totally agree with you. With the demise of 747's and the upper deck 'extra' storage, the move (for most of my routes) to 777's has meant zero storage space even for window seats. Even the drawer is pretty useless when you've reclined the seat. this is where SQ, EK, even DL are much better, as you have more room to spread out and work. I really like the SQ wide seats personally, but do prefer being able to recline electronically without asking for cabin crew to flip my seat so CW is best in that regard.
I guess there is no solution to satisfy all people
but IMO BA do need to provide more space to CW passengers on their 777 fleet in particular.
Flying VS J tomorrow for first time, am reckoning the seat will be a let down but looking forward to the lounge 😃
