So AF is contemplating replacing angles seats by flat beds, while QF already has flat skybeds and contemplating a second generation?

What QF did for skybed is use traditional seats but adding some 50cm spacing between seats. Hence the current skybed seats are fully flat without having the feet going under the seat in front as with the "new" solo designs. Also means a lot of personal space, especially at the legs/feet compared to the new solo beds, but these "old" seats are very space-greedy and totally inefficient from the airline viewpoint. QF will get many more business seats with the new generation
