I think by saying he will fit 5-10 aircraft next year, the sense of a reasonable fitting period was visible.

Just for clarity, he did say the £4.5 bn was in the context of overall investment including replacement and new aircraft deliveries as well as hard and soft product - don't want to get people over excited that BA are planning a £4.5bn investment in CW seats!

It's worth saying to @cosmo74 that it has been broadly publicised that the new CW seat is anticipated to be seen on the A350 - therefore meaning any roll-out timeline is much firmer than a soft product launch such as catering or bedding
