Oh good point—does anyone here have insider info on how well integrated TG and ex-WE crews/pilots are now? Are TG cabin crew going to get type-rated on A320 and ex-WE eventually on the wide-bodies?

I see some ‘spin’ on the A320 business class product - now referred to as ‘Silk Class A320’, and noted as distinct from ‘Royal Silk Class’… To be fair, plenty of information on the product…

I still really do not understand why they do not have a flexible size J cabin on the A320s, but rather fix it to three rows… That is the whole point of using the same seat across the cabin, European style

Maybe TG's management is not aware and somebody should tell them....

Have a read of the THAI News thread where some official releases have been posted, including this one:

They have extended C on A320 to 5 rows sometimes. It's either 3 rows or 5. I haven't seen anything else.

Similar experience last week to Nazdoom 's post above. Fortunately, although I boarded last from the coach at KTM, there was plenty of overhead bin space available. It was a short flight so I didn't try to sleep, but it would not be very comfortable for a longer flight.
