Things only BA FT Geeks would spot!
I was mooching through the BA website and via the new adverts for CE and CW sales found my way into the CE online demo.
If you click on the "More room on board" icon you get a pcture of a lady and gentleman sitting in what appears to be a CE A and C seat. The lady in the C seat is reclining. If you actually look at the seats however - they are actually in Euro Traveller configuration - you can tell this because the central head rest is not reclined on her side - which it should be if the seats were in CE configuration.
Bet whoever was taking the pictures doesn't know about convertible seats.......
Any others.....

hmm, if i understand you correctly what you're saying is the middle of A&C is not reclined when C is? Im pretty certain the middle stays put when you recline your seat backwards...

When the seat is in Club mode the middle of the B seat stays upright when A or C are reclined. But the two side bits that are on the B seat in ET mode (and contain the headrests) - attach to the A&C seats in CE mode and therefore also recline. What's happening in this picture is that the lady in the C seat is reclining - her aisle Head rest Ear reclines with her - but her left Head Rest Ear stays upright along with the middle part of the B seat - so it is in ET formation.

It's an interesting point - I hadn't noticed that (and proud of it! 
) - presumably they wanted to make it look as though there was as much space as possible between A and C, and therefore left B as B!

ah right i understand you now...
perhaps its the new CE seat or theyre revamping all european configuration to the likes of GB Airways where its a lottery what pitch you get if you dont know which seats have what pitch, and they will use the Finnair excuse that more seats onboard somehow makes them more green...

Angel - Beloved - if that is the sort of notice that you are taking of such matters, you really do need to get out more. Auntie Pucci is really quite worried about you now.
Would becoming a MUCCI help?
