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?
It doesn't necessarily compete but I'm not sure it needs to do such a thing. The seat simply needs to be a step up from standard Y for a slight increase in price.
Regular customers are content flying CO back and forth across the Atlantic the way it is now. What I and others are proposing is a slight increase in legroom for those customers who want a slightly better experience without paying BF prices.
JAL's product looks amazing and I'm sure it is due to them wanting to stay as competitive in the market as possible (when competing against SQ, CX, etc.)
I am just looking for a little competitiveness out of CO. If I get more, all the better.
