Airline with the worst J class seats in the sky, also has the worst J class seating selection policy... one assumes because they know their seats are **** relative to the competition and customers will begrudgingly pay to avoid getting a bad one or be more loyal to retain the benefits of getting a good one.
That's your opinion and you're very welcome to it. I assume you're talking about BA although you don't say which airline. I personally like the current BA seats (although not the stepping over people so much). I do not like the majority of J seats out there because they require you to put your feet in a small box when reclined/to sleep. Those for me are the worst J class seats and it annoys me that BA are getting them.
