If they guarantee the middle seat to stay empty that would be another matter, but that is not the case.

If they indeed have changed the seat pitch then that is a project that takes many months to complete for the whole fleet. This month I have flown them twice (in business) but the legroom has been the same as before. The first rows of economy have always had the same legroom as business class (which has always been very generous). I cannot imagine that in less than one month they have been able to reconfigure seat pitch on all these aircraft and that they would not even advertise this as a feature. If the extra leg room is increased for up front seats, wouldn't they list that in the benefits?
