Tell me that either every airline is idiotic, and BA are the only wizards, or tell me how they squeeze 10 more J seats, more than 20 more W seats into that same space, while only sacrificing a seat count of 3, with a heavy Y configuration from CX? Do 37 Y seats on Cathay equal the space taken by 34 J + W seats on BA - and a "club kitchen".

Cathay has an extra inch of pitch in Y. And they actually squeezed in more J seats at the front due to their terrible config where the toilets open onto some J seats. And CX crew also complain about cramped galleys.
