It is, in effect, the same airline in every other way except for the legal technicality of the new AOC. Same staff, branding, routes, aeroplanes, staff, routes, strategy and positioning. Effectively, they just legally reneged on their debts.
Please take the hint and lets move on. For all our sanities sake this constant repetition on both sides of the debate is just boring.
As for the seats.. average flight time is less than an hour so I think seat power etc are niceties but when cost is taken into account on a start up business they are not commercially sensible.
Most people want a good flight schedule at the right price. Fancy seats for LH yes but regional travel... icing on the cake.
The ATR is a great regional aircraft, not perfect by any means but sales numbers don't lie.
