My point is more that I don't see how the Rouge 7M8s, when comparing it to the WS layout I linked above, will manage to have less preferred seating, functionally the same number of seats (the extra three seats on AC come from the lav positions) yet somehow have less pitch compared to the equivalent WS LOPA. And as someone who has dealt with the 28.8" Rouge 319s out of YOW for sun destinations the last few winters, I'd definitely consider a 30" 7M8 with IFE an upgrade. Unless they give us the Lynx fins again....
Aren't the Lynx FIN's being returned? I guess we'll know a bit more about the final Rouge number of FIN's with the fourth quarter results come out.
