Happy they did not go the way of SK, which is the worst of the worst as per their SAS PLUS product.

The current premium seats are 35" pitch (slimline). Moving to proper J will require adding 1" since they'll no longer be slimline (2" if you want the proper J pitch).
The exit row position is fixed. Not sure how this can happen without reducing J from 12 to 8 seats?

Whether that's enough pitch to be "Proper" J or not, you can decide.
Let's just agree it's a change that benefits flyers and provides an entirely comfortable transcontinental option

Any word on in-seat power and timelines?

From what I can tell they are identical to the 763 PR seats, though that may be a placeholder. So in seat power would be possible, anyway. No timeline I'm aware of, or if all 319s will even be getting the J product.

It's a rumour until they officially announce it around March/April, anyway 
But several of us have heard from AC people it's happening. Like the 777 update, once the wheels are in motion it's likely to be followed through on though no guarantees.
My guess is they'll announce at the same time :-::-:special:-::-: interior configs for the incoming leased 321s are announced.

Could that be something 'minty' fresh?
