Cos it’s not a problem if the person in front reclines for me. Genuinely not an issue unless long haul meal times and cabin crew ask people to sit up for the duration.

Do the maths on FC seats.
Replacing 3 B744s with 2 A380: = 3(14+86) vs 2(14+97) =300 vs 222.

The B744 is THE premium heavy aircraft of the fleet which is why JFK sees so many.
