As many CX FTers know, this is the bird AC uses on YVR-HKG

10 across. 450 pax. At least 42 more than CX uses on the same route (unless you have more accurate info)

So, while some AC FTers rant about this thing, AC ordered more of them.

It seems, some/many of those who want the cheapest ticket are willing to put up with this thing.

Also, Airbus already developed seating configs for 11 across (photo below)
