Any improvement is allways a step in the good direction. I still wonder how AF is thinking when it comes to those strategical issue. As I understand the new NEV seat are quite expensive. så when in place you dont change them efter while.
I am one of those client who would prefer pay more for a better comfort.... but not as much as the P price!
What surprises me is that AF does not offer a true P product. Only the seat is First class, all the rest of the product (video, food, lounge, service...) is business-like. This will lead to the disapearance of F on AF.
Several years ago, AF introduced its lie-flat F seat at the same time as BA (a precursor) introduced a true bed in F. Several airlines followed with a bed so that AF First was way behind. Now AF is still in the process of introducing angled lie-flat C seats, while many airlines are following the example of BA and VS and introduce flat seats in C (SAA, Cathay, Singapore, Air NZ, etc...). One cannot help wondering why AF strategy is always lagging. True, it is not the only airline lagging, and it could be a determined strategy not to compete with top airlines.
