But we are talking about the B787-9 not future aircraft deliveries.

Why is BA being so hesitant about announcing what routes it will serve? Afterall, they announced late LAST year that the A380 will fly to MIA from OCT THIS year. And Virgin announced last week their 787-9 routes for March next year. Why is BA dragging it's feet in announcing the routes?

What I'm saying is there is no new seats in First or CW on the B787-9, I think this will not happen until we get the A350.

I guess because it isn't that important, it's just a variation of an aircraft after all.

Sorry I don't agree, I think it's not just a variation due to F...which could be more profitable in some markets rather than others.

Boeing are only up to aircraft 290. The first BA 787-9 is number 346. It's not going to be for a while.

Yes I get your point but it will just replace other aircraft that already has the same First seat, I don't see anything to get excited about.

I am not excited at all, I really dislike BA's 787 J cabin...2-3-2 (vs QR's 1-2-1)

I really dislike all the BA J cabins except UD 744 (which isnt longer for this world) and CWLCY.

I guess no need to close screens during landing and no need to look above for seat numbers...

The thread New BA First Class contained some information about the new/updated seat planned. This quote from the FT is quite telling:

It is elegant and sophisticated, without being ostentatious, the soft, hand-stitched “raven black” leather perhaps rather masculine. “An evolution rather than revolution,” says Kathryn Slack, BA’s cabin interiors manager.

Evolution almost certainly means they've reshaped it to fit in the 787 cabin. The new business class seat will be put on the a350s

As with seemingly quite a lot of BA marketing, I doubt the reality will live up to the adjective-rich hype.

I am sure that the marketing types will be along shortly to state that you and I don't understand and appreciate what marketing is about and such language is fully justified to promote brand awareness.
