Business class seats on 346?

I will be flying MAD-ORD on 346. At the moment I have 2J reserved and I also understand that IB is not very good about seat assignments, but all I want to know is if the F class section still exists(in whatever form?) and if the single middle seat is still available on J ticket?

Configuration is 2x2x2 and forward cabin seems to be quieter and darker - there is a minibar at the rear of the forward J cabin that stayed lit the entire time on my flights. In the front there are some fairly large closets, etc. between the forward bulkhead in J and the galley.

yes - i want to say row 2 is the bulkhead in the middle row. I had that the last time and thought it was fine. I think the cut out in the bulkhead for when the seat goes into its ski slope position is larger than the cut outs in the back of the shell for the seat in front on the non-bulkhead rows. I used the extra space to put my briefcase at the bottom of the seat legrest with some pillows to make it somewhat comfortable

By the way, the below is from the IB web site but not sure if it is correct...anyway, too small for me to read
