Something like SQ's long-haul J product is never going to happen. The seats take up too much space.

Polaris is interesting. I love it. But the seats are not all the same, and AC has always chosen products where every seat is identical (extra foot-room at bulkhead notwithstanding).

I just hope they pick a configuration that works well if you're solo or if you're travelling with someone you want to talk to. Polaris works really well for that. The 333 J product on AC is "better", but not amazing.
