Well, then I'll report something!
I recently flew a jettime 737-700 (OY-JTY on a BA flight number).
I'm no expert but pitch seemed really good. It felt much less cramped than I can remember from other shorthaul Y (IMLE - In My Limited Experience!). Even with tray table down it felt OK.
I had a backpack that I stowed under seat in front and that was doable but not enjoyable.
What was really bad though is that the seat cushion is very short.
The seat ends very early on the thigh which was not only uncomfortable but actually painful one hour into the flight. Luckily seat block was upheld by BA so I could use a bit of middle seat for some of my tentacles.
Also, seat back recline was very limited, it felt like the seat only moved 5cm, barely noticeable.
Head rest had no foldable flaps to support head when sleeping (which all newer BA short haul seats seems to have, but IIRC no AY narrowbodies has?).
