It will be interesting how they equip the plane. They can't run a whole bunch of Y with 30" pitch and have the range. They can (1) equip it with PE and then 32" Y, or (2) I guess do three classes, say 8 J seats, 12 PE then 32" Y, would help with range, or (3) do what Aer Lingus and TAP are doing with 16 J staggered then some Y+.
