There's going to be people who dislike the decision either way. Although flatbeds would be ideal in ALL CX/KA J cabins they would be quite tight pitch wise on the narrow body fleet and unless some new config was debuted would be difficult to enter/exit when the aisle is flat. I think a proper recliner is likely the right decision considering 90% of the KA missions are around 4 hours or less. I know this won't please the red eye passengers but I think a modern version of a recliner makes far more sense than an update on the current regional J seat which I think everyone can admit has many drawbacks.
