...I'd hope for the the former, but given how this was handled, the latter is a distinct possibility. So... my advice is, don't pay for F unless row 1 or 2 is available to be selected.
You do realize we're saying the same thing, right? We've seen it with the legacy AS 73s problem with the 16F to 12F configs. We've seen this with the Airbii renumbering problem. And we'll see it again when the cabin mods start.

They've made it a habit of hosing their elites in the previous two situations, so the writing's already on the wall with what's to come. Sadly, it's really that simple.

Of course none of this is really specific to this thread, but maybe the Mods will consider splitting this type of conjecture into a new Cabin mod thread that'll cover the entire fleet. Who knows.
