2. The angling of the seats away from the windows. Hate it.
3. The general age of the product showing after a decade of wear and tear.

The experience is so drastically different from the current Signature product it honestly feels like bait-and-switch when you end up on this bird.
Agree on all 3x counts. Personally, would add that I hate the lack of privacy with the XM pods. After primarily flying the current J product on 777, 787, and the re-furb'd A333's, it feels odd and open sitting in the old configuration being able to look around and see all the other pax.
