Disappointed at the lack of F, but a new J seat is something positive.

Also never seen any indication at all that the A350 fleet will have F (aside from the info in thread I mentioned above. Do you have information to the contrary?

The AvGeek in me would be tempted to trek to EDI just to try out the new Business - assuming the seat will be a somewhat competitive product...
