New PB seats on hold
Hi all. Just flying PB AKL - LAX and spoke to the inflight service manager. He told me that they have just internally announced that all development of new BP seats is on hold due to lack of internal resourcing (because of 787) and also reduced demand they are pushing out all investments.

The refurbished seat for all 777's and 787's seems to be on hold - they were going in at the same time as the "Economy+" but that hasn't happened. Even when I asked PR about it recently they knew nothing.
New seat is still scheduled for the 787-10 and is essential as Air NZ need a 1-2-1 layout on the 787 which they can't do with the current seat.
