Come on...
When BA, LH, QR, SQ, etc reintroduced their A380s, they were already equipped with the current N generation in J & F.
AF A380s are N-1 generation, with their sloppy J NEV seats
BA already had solo seats in J. They are just moving to the N+1 generation fleetwide, just like AF starts doing but at a much slower pace. Unclear when the Club suite will be introduced on A280. In any case, not before 2025.
AF would have to retrofit BEFORE reintroducing the A380, but it was probably the plan to retire them, even before covid.
