Agree. Little narrower or drop less room to get in than on the 77W but a great seat nonetheless. And couldnt agree more on your comments above about the old Mint seats being bad. I dont get why people like them. Yes a ton of space on the side if you are in the throne seat & the door is cool but that seat kills my back every time.
I also cant stand being in a seat that doesnt actually recline but just LOWERS. This is such a huge issue to me and I dont get why so many people seem to not mind this. Its just like DL One Suites where you can get lower but then the bottom slides even closer to the IFE which already is a bit too close to begin with Imo. Additionally the lack of a footwell is annoying b/c when seated your feet are just on the ground. I guess this whole set up is the Thompson Vantage design. I cant stand it.
My back never hurts on AA 321T, 77W or my favorite seat of theirs, the 789. And I dont need a door, it feels private b/c I am faced towards the window.
