To be honest I don't know how feasible a 4-cabin config is, seems like a lot more overhead/admin. Their tweet only refers to updates for F, J and Y, but maybe there will be a surprise PE release with it. I doubt it, though.

Nothing beyond that they're looking into it.

Maybe, but then again if they are doing an entirely new interior layout for new F, that's the perfect time to install PE on new deliveries.

Depends on whether F taking forever is a lot of indecision on the part of, let's face it Sir Tim and Sheikh Ahmed, or seat manufacturer backlog.
I guess it would depend whether PE was essentially approved a year ago when they say yields dropping and capacity outpacing pax growth or not.

This would be more flexible to organise.
the difference between premium and economy or premium and business would be just service on board, service on ground, miles and probably price
OR actually they could have both: economy plus and business minus
So one can choose: economy seat with service (on plane and ground) as in business or business seat with service (on plane and ground) as in economy

Well, for premium economy they could use the same seat as in economy or the same seat as in business.
