Note the reduced recline in E+/E- - 4 and 3 inches, respectively. Are those slimline seats?

Seems unlikely, as they've kept the same 35/32 pitch.

To the contrary, that's exactly why it does suggest they are slimlines. The recline on the slidey seats measures out as less than a seat with true recline.

See the diff b/t the slim and vanilla 320:

They take 1 inch of pitch from everyone, which is where the space for row 38 comes from. If you don't reduce the pitch, you aren't gaining a row.

That doesn't say anything about which seats will be on the 789. Note that after the installed slimlines in the 320, pitch in E+ is measured at 35 inches, exactly the same as on the 789. Note also that slimlines are not just about capacity, but weight savings as well.

In any event, I assume we'll find out soon enough which seats they're using. Hoping that someone here in the forum has that information . . . .

Pitch does not equal legroom. You're making the same mistake that the kid who suggested changing the US Govt's default font made last week

Why is the exit row window seat not considered E+?

Interesting they didn't number the exit row 32 for standardization

I didn't say anything about pitch equalling legroom. In fact I said nothing at all about legroom. I said they've reduced recline on the 789 to 3/4 inches.

Do you know what kind of seats they're using on the 789? Or are you just here to sling insults?

That wasn't an insult, and what you just repeated there isn't the reason for my comment, rather it was the "To the contrary, [they've kept the same 35/32 pitch i]s exactly why it does suggest they are slimlines." line - the fact that there is higher pitch indicates that these are not slimline seats.

Insider knowledge isn't a prerequisite for posting here btw.

It's the same pitch in E+ as the 320 with slimlines. So your comment really does not compute. The fact they've kept the same pitch, but show reduced recline does suggest to me they are slimlines. Otherwise, why would recline show as reduced given that pitch remains the same?

In any event, I'm inviting input on which kind of Y seat will be used on the 789 by someone who actually knows something. Obviously you need not apply.

Nice configuration, with generous numbers of BF and E+ seats - that's good for elites and upgrades.
