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....

Well I just came across this on my job hunting...quite interesting, was this a position already held or a new one I wonder?! This thread and the “middle table in CE” thread must have been overheard!

I reckon it will be the IB seat based on their talk of standardizing across IAG

New J product for BA? I see rumours but no facts.
I have heard rumours that BA is rolling out a new J product in the nearish future. Does anyone have any more info on what or when this might be?
I would personally love to see a Japan Airlines style 2-2-2 apex suite CW. Giving privacy for all, no leg climbing, more storage, bigger TV and a much wider personal space. I really like it. and you don't have the reduced foot space of the herringbone to contend with. Definitely my favourite J product. Would be lovely in tasteful BA styling.
Anyone know if anything is fact yet?
One thing is for sure. 2-4-2 simply has to go. I'd love to start flying CW in BA if the product was updated. Exciting times.

Yes no facts. Rumours have already been heavily discussed in these threads.
Facts may arise before the first A350 flights go on sale.

It's one of the most closely guarded secrets at BA, with only a handful of people able to get access to 'Area 51' behind those wooden hoardings.
In the meantime, we can all hope it's going to be ground breaking.
One day soon, we'll see what we're actually getting.

I hope BA knock it out the park. They have done it before, and certainly have the funds to do it.

I’m sure someone will be able to post the link for this but I’ve defintiely seen the ‘rumored’ new seat design on here.
I think BA will almost certainly eliminate the ‘stepping over’ others current issue but I wouldn’t bank on less seats.

But we also saw Cruz say that everything that was planned wasn't innovative enough.

Lengthy piece here from ausbt which appeared in January, and which many FT-ers have no doubt seen
