That's a rather cynical spin. It would be more accurate to say that there's a leader/prototype (CIVF). And then when the programme gets going in earnest in the autumn, it'll be at a consistent rate of 2 a month (or more) every month until they're all done.

Cynical. Genuinely no. But compare/contrast with the rate at which they turned over the Airbus shorthaul fleet for new seats/lighting, and you can see what I'm point at.

From the Fleet Master thread, the potential reason for the long gap before the 2nd plane goes in for the Super Hi-J refresh is that 6 current Hi-J aircraft are going to Cardiff to be down-graded to Mid-J layout between now and Dec'15.

Super hi-J First layout?
Checking BA's new 275-seat Super hi-J, it struck me as odd that the First seats in the pointy end have turned into suites.
In fact, they look like a replica of (or not too dissimilar to the) new 787-9 F suites. At least they have been given extra storage?
I know no scheduled F work was planned, so is this just an update to reflect the different styles in map only?
