In other news, look at this seat falling apart. Looking around, I see a few of them starting to come apart like that. Looking around, I see a bunch of others that are coming apart, although less drastically, on the sides or the top. These planes are not that old, they shouldn't be showing this kind of wear and tear.
These J seats are the new PY seats on 330 right?
If so, don’t think this is going to come as any surprise to anyone whos flown PY on the 787/777. AC went for the cheapest possible seat/materials in those - and it was pretty obvious within a couple of years of their rollout (chunks of material missing from the armrest, seats stained beyond redemption, cushions losing shape - anyone who’s connected to AC from LH will know what I mean).
Guess CR’s insistence on sourcing everything Y/PY exclusively from bargain basements won out here too. I was getting the sense that AC treats narrow body J as PY (exact same menu etc), and this kinda reinforces it.
Pity they went with the recline restriction: 7M8J = 777Y > 320J.
