Having experienced the oft-criticized Club World on BA - which I liked - I think the proposed seats will be fine on a 777. Better than what is currently offered for sure, but those seats aren't going to come close to matching the GF seats.

Given the narrower fuselage, I agree - they will be miserable on the 787.

LOL, that is an excellent analogy. For me at least, while the design looks fine on paper, I worry about the execution. My fear is that the execution will have too much Jeff Smisek and not enough Oscar Munoz, and end up with a no-frills miserable product designed to satisfy the bean counters.
