It’s from an old thread but a picture of a possible seat that probably was canned

I'm probably in a hard minority here, but I'd be happy with the current CW seats if only they all had direct aisle access. I hate being stepped over, and I hate stepping over people. Oh, and a better IFE screen... the one they currently use is garbage (good luck watching a subtitled film)
I can't say I've really minded being window vs not.

Has no-one else here spotted that the seat described in the paddleyourownkanoo article shared here by Foofighter69 on 5 January and allegedly killed off by BA management is the same seat contained in the October 2017 patent application?
I’d personally like to see something different and a bit more stand out after 15 odd years of roughly the same seat! They’ve had bloody long enough to come up with it!!

Basically no new seat on the horizon? Even the BA horizon of 5 years?

Not quite; the A350 which will enter service next year, will have a new seat.
We just don't know what it is yet.
What we do know is that it will take a long time to be rolled out, may or may not appear on existing aircraft, and will instantly be equally praised and disliked by FT citizens as soon as the design is finally announced.

I hope we get a version of the Qsuites. They really do look fantastic. That would be very impressive. Maybe called the Club Suites 
Or would this cannibalise F?

can anyone confirm if the new A350-1000 will have a first cabin? I would guess 8 seats if so, on the basis it's similar to the 789?

Would it not make sense to have the same J seat as IB? Direct aisle access with no 'climbing' and some conformity across group.

I just got off an SQ flight and in J and feel genuinely gutted that I have not looked beyond BA sooner. It just blew away BA CW and, yes, F. BA has a very long way to go.

although I would prefer a window direct aisle access, side cupboard BA J seat to a regular SQ J seat. SQ soft product is streets ahead if BA although the seat does not recline far enough before you need to get out and turn it into a be - in seat mode there is not enough room to put your legs and in bed mode the sideways position into the box dies not do it for me. That said it is better than 97% of BA J seats and its bulkhead seats are equal to the prized few BA J sears - although row 96 can be extremely cold. Let's not even go there with F....
