The full reason, and I quote

"You are correct in advising that this aircraft does not have flexible seating and the reason for this, is to encorporate the provision of in-flight entertanment. This decision was taken by our most senior management, as it was felt that entertainment would be more beneficial for a flight of this duration. Although the seat pitch is the same as in economy , the seat is on average 2 inches wider"

I wonder if the most senior mangement are the same ones who decided on the Bento Box, or tha Knock to Glasgow was the next big opportunity? I'm also very puzzled about the 2 inches wider seats, that must make the aisle 12 inches narrower than economy.

or there is one big wide seat somewhere which keeps the average up....

Maybe the front row is actually only one seat that is sold/shared by three people ...
