Not an expert and not much of a CE flyer either but I think I read on here that 12 is the max. It's a topic that's been quite heavily covered recently on the forum as questions have been asked whether the service standard slips with a bigger cabin and the general consensus is that it does

Not sure if it's a record but 19 rows is the most I have read about on here from msm2000k

BA doesnt really care about good service. As long as people are still buying CE tickets and have full cabins its totally fine for BA management. They used to serve a ham and cheese panini and people kept flying with them!

lets not forget the same sort of service was previously given to a full 757 or 767 from MAN, GLA or EDI.
a few rows at the front of the plane with the middle seats blocked can't be so bad.

E190 can go back to row 10 (of 25) giving 38 seats
E170 can go back to row 13 (of 19) giving 52 seats
Shorter routes as well as Greek islands have lower caps in place. Caps on the 170 are usually higher than on the 190.

14 rows today on a quick AMS to LHR A321 after the conference that was on over the weekend there.
They used trolleys for food and then drinks and then trolly again with drinks for removal of trays which left time for some galley FM for 10 mins. Very efficient and as with a lot of the time it’s down to a good crew.
