Thank you all for your valuable comments. Educational!
[MENTION=640689]worldclubber[/MENTION]: your concise comments brought a smile to me. yes, C and F are indeed two different ballgames.
"survivable step down": so clear and concise that I cannot think of a better way to put it. Thx.
Net/net, as I didn't want to step up the price point to F class, and I didn't want to fly United Airlines, Swiss' Business Class is really the only doable alternative for me for a direct/non-stop from JFK-GVA. Furthermore, I thought that with that particular throne seat, it's about as quiet and comfortable as I'd be able to find so, under the circumstances, without stepping up more in terms of price point, a throne seat on Swiss from JFK-GVA is practically speaking, the best doable option.
Thank you all very much. What an invaluable group of experienced folks here.
