E+ is not J, it is Y class with extra legroom and power ports and possibly AVOD.
This would be good for E+ some years ago. But it's clearly not cutting it in today's marketplace. For example see
this
Bmi has announced an extensive upgrade programme to transform its Premium Economy cabin with a market leading seat on all of its long haul flights. The new Premium Economy seats will boast an impressive 49” seat pitch, a 50 degree recline and 21” seat width, with electronic leg rest and lumbar support. Perfect for both business and leisure passengers, premium economy will offer telephone, laptop power point and data port facilities plus an individual 9” arm stow screen. The cabin will feature just 30 seats, with a 2-2-2 configuration, reinforcing the cabin’s exclusivity.
Not convinced yet? Have a look at the new
Japan Air Lines Premium Economy.
Are you saying that a Y seat with 3" extra legroom is a good idea to compete against these products?
