Row 2 of GATx currently has a 63 cm gap from the front of the seat to the bulkhead, compared to 58 cm for the main A320 fleet, 55 cm for the A319s (and 42 cm for Aer Lingus' A320s, incidentally). So I guess that current luxury will go. Seems a lot of effort for 3 extra seats, it would surely be more cost effective to knock back the O and Q fare buckets when the aircraft fills up.
