Yeah I think a lot of airlines are really cutting back, certainly not unique to EY
And I would be very surprised if EY was worse than BA. Last time I flew BA J I had nail clippings left in the seat when I sat down, the worst meal I have ever had I J and a completely disinterested crew (aside from the CSM, who was absolutely awesome) emailed BA to give the feedback and was sent a generic email in response, which seems to be the standard these days.
I think even with the cutbacks EY in J is still one of the better options out there even if you only base it on the business studio seats which are great.
Will wait and see what its like next month, have lowered my expectations already haha
