I've flown SFO-MCO a few times this year and it's always been on Airbus aircraft with 8 seats in F. Those will be replaced over time. I know there's at least one retrofitted aircraft out there right now. The electric controls for the seat are not reliable and you might find yourself locked in a reclining position and in need of a flight attendant to come and manually push you forward.




If you were on a 737-900, you'd be in a 16 seat F cabin with seats like this with minimal recline, though I find the seat itself quite comfortable:
