I don't think there's any chance of this - period. CO has no interest in retro-fitting the rest of the fleet with such a product, and as someone else pointed out, they strive for consistency.
Perhaps I'm mistaken, but at the 'Do, didn't they say the 787 would be 3x3x3 coach seating and 2x2x2 seating in BF with a new BF chair and new IFE throughout?
I asked a few execs about this at the DO, and heard 8 abreast. If Larry mentioned it, I guess I forgot. It will be very interesting to see. It wouldn't surprise me if they start out with the roomier config and then change their minds..
