I don't like how the Apex aisle seats are incredibly less private than the window seats (so only 2 out of 6 seats per row are good). Also seems like a worse use of space due to the extra space for direct aisle access for the window passengers.
I know this is off-topic, but shouldn't we know more about the new KA regional J other than the fact that it's "probably a recliner", esp. considering the seat would be flying very soon without COVID. I guess CX is doing pretty well with keeping their secrets this time round.
EDIT: Also feel like there is an inherent risk with launching rear-facing J class seats like the QSuite and Etihad J. It's not a big deal to me but this probably came up when discussing the direction of the new J – is there a general perceived notion that rear-facing seats are worse?
