New business class seats on A330?
I was just on an ICN-BKK flight on the A330 that was just delivered in late March (HL7795). I caught a glimpse of the business class section and saw new business class seats that was neither the cocoon seats nor the OZ Quadra Smartium. They looked like the business class seats on the Thai Airways 777-200ER.
Can someone confirm?

And also the Y class on this A330 are the new seats with the 10.6 inch touchscreen and better UI than the one found on the 747.

Bigger AVOD screen, not sure the seat goes fully flat though... Looks like one of those angle flats where your feet get crushed if you are tall. So not sure the seat is much of an improvement.

Fair enough but how bout their stupid decision to not put the new Y on the 3-class 777s? Then to put them on probably one of the most premium routes in their network (i.e. you don't want to piss these people off) where the competitor (KE) offers lie-flat beds and brand-new Y? Frankly I think they should have gotten 77Ws instead-a much more capable plane and they could do a lot more futzing around with the configuration.
OZ has pretty much ignored Y recently (no more amenity kits either) and this is basically driving me into SQ's open arms.
