When the 7M8 comes up for any flight I want I guess I'll be price comparing AC preferred seats to regular Y on WS or Porter. As a bottom feeder type traveler, I choose the cheapest acceptable seat. 30" pitch is not acceptable, so it won't be considered by me.

I find it interesting that about a third of Y seats are preferred. AC must assume that a lot of people will want to buy a bit of extra legroom. I wish they specified how much extra pitch the preferred seats get.
30" isn't surprising, the 789s are also 30" and they fly some of the longest AC routes.

WestJet is also moving to 30".

At this point I'm just happy it is not 29" and still has AVOD
