I'm not even sure I can say that. The rendering looks awfully similar to the new DL F seat on its 321neos which I have not flown yet but can't say I am looking forward to. The fixed wings are just extra plastic boxing me in, making it harder to converse with my seatmate if (God forbid) I am traveling with a companion, and ironically weight I'm paying to fly. I'm so tired of trying to enclose premium cabin pax in boxes! While there are some even larger "full wall" F suites I feel like it's notable that what sets apart of lot of other 3-class first products is the ability to have an more open, airy cabin due to lack of density.

Speaking of PE, DL has the awkward issue of flying the 350 where it has gone for the inferior 2-4-2 configuration which is alarmingly narrow. UA (and I guess AA) don't have to face that, at least not yet.
