I agree that it looks exceedingly similar. If it does indeed turn out to be (a variation of) Super Diamond, I would be very happy indeed ^

I'm hoping for this. Exclusive for ex-EU flyers as BA know how tiring that can be.

Or Cirrus which is my hope. Out of the two, the SD fixed table annoys me.

Has to be super diamond. Perhaps heavily BAified though.

I’ve never flown BA F - how would people compare BA’s best F seat on the 789 to super diamond?

As does the positioning of the table / the table release mechanism. I agree it would be a large step forward, but at the same time it means BA's revolutionary new Club World will be the same seat as Egyptair and Westjet are to shortly start flying as their respective new business classes.

If true, I really don't know what to say about that fact it took BA about five years to come up with the same seat QR started flying almost a decade ago. There's going to have to be some heavy modification for it to be anything other than middle of the pack.

I assume that would mean no doors?

All very good points, and well made.

However, was the new BA CW ever going to be industry leading? Based on the current management, mediocrity is the ambition (whether that is right or wrong).

Based on the confirmation of Super Diamond, I am happy since it would (eventually) give me greater schedule flexibility crossing the Atlantic on day flights rather than being "forced" to use AA.
