I don't pay any attention to that. My focus is strictly on the extra pitch and seat width in Y

It's a slight update to the existing Cirrus J-pod already in use on CX's 777s.

They're rolling the same seat out across the 777 fleet over the next year to two years.

Seriously, a CX vs AC J comparison? I'm not even sure that same scale can be used.

I hope my thesis is right.. price is not everything in the long term and once Oil price comes back these carriers would find themselves choking on all of this extra capacity.
Any room in your thesis for CX's plunging profits? . . . i.e., Specifically attributed to competitors w lower seat-mile cost on the back of denser configs?

From what I've read so far, Jack's general thesis is that airlines should offer round-trip, Tango fares YVR-HKG, earning 100% AQM, on 777s seated 2x3x2 with 40" pitch, for $498 tax-in.

...and that the only reason an airline would NOT do this is pure, viscous hatred for the physical well-being of the flying public.
