I am scheduled on A332 PH-AOB from Ams to Auh tomorrow. The klm website says it has sleeper seats, I am confused as which seats are those?

Sleeper seats are the slippery slope model. Not a flat bed.

Are these the ones with the hard back shell?

The PH-AOB is scheduled for KL451 tomorrow, doesnt seem like it's retrofitted yet.

Yeah thats correct. I just wanted to know if the seats are the ones with fixed hard shell or the old recliner ones?

IIRC the fixed hard shell ones were installed on all A330-300's, and on two A330-200's: PH-AOM, PH-AON.

That's correct. The hard shell ones are not slippery at all.. they are reasonably close to flat.

Afaik they are flat, just not level with the floor.

This matches the description of an angled flat seat.

Flat but not horizontal, i.e. angled flat.

Slippery.

Or to put on sufficient weight to achieve the desired tightness.

Meanwhile both PH-AOA and PH-AOM are not. Wonder if they're indeed doing 2 planes at once or if one or both are grounded for some other reason.

but the angle of the plane during cruise is supposed to compensate the slope... I was once told by a steward...

You should have asked him if that means that every single actual 180 degree lay-flat seat that is designed to be parallel to the floor are actually the ones that end up being sloped during flight, and why all these airlines are then retrofitting their planes with these 'bad' seats!
