Great thread. If someone who travels at the front of the plane as much as CWS can survive BA economy and say "not so bad really" then it really does make some of the comments we see on CW seem hyperbolic. That seat does look tiny though.
CWS: You clearly spend an incredible amount of time flying - amazing that in 40 years you had managed to avoid Economy. That being the case, was any part of you looking forward to this flight just out of curiosity? I love my trips in CW and F, but I only manage about 10 flights a year. If I was doing 10 a week, I'm sure I'd find it mundane to the point where I'd actually welcome a change, even if it meant a worse seat!
