Also if anything gets cancelled it is a pain in the ... to deal with TAP on the best of days.

I have plenty Russian friends who would love to visit Morocco at some point. Quite simply, why pay for economy if you can get business at this price. But I am unable to find the SU fare.

It *is* an economy seat at a business seat price. The only difference is in the mileage earning.

It's not such a brilliant deal, given that it's TAP. It doesn't look a pricey route unless you do it on Royal Air Maroc, for £1,500

I think it more like extra legroom seats on US airlines with some extra service. Of course if tap puts on one of there long range A321 then you will get a good seat but otherwise there short haul business is between eurobusiness and US domestic as the seating is still 3-3 and not 2-2

No, it is / does not.
Unfortunately your recollection is wrong.
That is incorrect.
The least thing you could have all done is go to the website of TP and check, as the info is there - seat pitch is 32", seat width is 17.6" and recline is 8.4°, which are the same as in economy, with the middle seat blocked in the first few rows of TAP Executive. I have flown it no less that a dozen times in 2019 - on every possible A32x type, including NEO, and this was the seat experience on all flights.

I wish. TAP operates/ed A321LR aircraft with a dedicated business-class on some transatlantic routes.
But i think Moscow and some other long routes get the regular short-haul A320.
I did a long-haul business-class trip in one of these crates. Lisbon to Sao Tome via Accra. Perfectly horrible: every J-class seat was taken - even the nominally empty centre seats were filled.

TAP A320 "business" class, as mentioned above, is a few forward rows of their standard economy cabin - not even extra leg room. I've flown that "business" class a few times and it was absolutely awful (owing, primarily, to TAPs horrendous confrontational non-service). Among these, was a flight during which flight attendants purposely blocked me (with a cart) from coming back to my "business" seat in row 1, for a total of over 1 hour. I had to spend 1 hour standing in the rear galley.
If I was flying "economy" in a row further back - that standing time might have been shorter, at least
