It is very unlikely that EK will retrofit newer Y seats/ICE to older frames. They'll probably just get a new different coloured upholstery and nothing more. If EK didn't fit 4th Gen ICE to the EVx frames, then there's no chance EDx/EEx/EOx/EUx are getting it. Same with the 777s, they will stick with the same equipment they were delivered with.
The reason I curiously ask this is because EK's article did mention they were doing a "nose-to-tail" retrofit, which means all seats will be replaced and new apart from Premium Economy.
Basically in other words, even if the EC* and EG* 777's get retrofitted, that means they will still retain the old Y-class seats? Is my understanding correct on that?
