The 'pitch' is a misleading number. All the business 'modules' are the same size, but some are further apart. So there is no sacrificed space, as far as the pax are concerned, just extra space between the aisle seats to allow access to the non-aisle pax. Also (unlike BA, etc.)
all the business lie-flat seats face forward, and all have direct aisle access.
