I as we have said here many times, the guess is that the vast majority of deflated seat issues go unreported and most people dont even know the seat is not supposed to feel like that.

It sure would be nice to hear which FINs have already been fixed with new seats/bladders, if any so far!
Or how about AC could actually fix the issue That would appear to be the best solution. And yes I’ve heard and read they are fixing it but it’s taking far far too long. It has already taken far too long.

This and others above. AC offering even $1k/$1.5k for a $3k seat is unacceptable. The seat is the price, the meal and all is not worth $3-5k without the real estate of a seat that doesn’t resemble a morgue slab.
