Aircraft safety is at 100%. They have taken a decision not to put in any money to repair the old seats because they are going to be replaced soon. In fact, for most of these seats, they won't be able to repair them even if they wanted to as the spare parts would no longer be available.
I'm avoiding AI as much as I can during this period. I don't expect the seat situation to change till the new planes are put in service.
