Re: seatmate - it's probably a safe bet that you WILL have a seatmate. These seats are known to be good (as they reduce the number of people to bother/climb over for those in the window). On the flights I've been on, they are some of the first Y seats to book even months out from the flight date.

It will be noisy. It will take you much longer to get off the aircraft. And the tail will wag in rough air.
Those are the three main disadvantages, which are usually enough in total to have me sticking with somewhere at the front of the Y cabin.

I sat in 73J last night/this morning. It was not bad at all. It seemed that there were a few things missing: amenity kits, hot towels (which they seemed to stop providing around row 65) were the 2 things I noticed.
I had a seat mate and she got up once during the entire flight.
The only thing annoying was I reached up to stretch once and I touched someone who was just loitering by the loo. Not a big deal, but at one time I felt like someone was watching the IFE over my shoulder.
I didn't notice the tail wagging or anything odd. I would recommend this seat again.
