Yep, If Virgin choose a decent business class seat for its 330's business class, pax will leave in droves for Virgin on the Perth route. I have just used all 3 styles of business seats in QF 330's. The 300 series skybed is just fantastic, but not used much on domestic routes. The older style business class seat is hard, only reclines about 6 cm, a really uncomfortable seat. Just flew on the new business class seat and can say that its really uncomfortable. There is no IFE controls on the seat top, you have to lean fwd, pull out the remote and use that. The seat is narrow, hard and not much better than economy class. The centre seat in the middle row is not highly sought after either. When the original 330's arrived QF had many complaints about the quality of the business seat from pax, looks like no one listened. The 767 business seat is a much more comfortable seat. This is a real backwards step for QF, and if Borghetti chooses right he will be only a winner. Maybe if we ask virgin nicely we can have Borghetti back and we will give them AJ and we'll also throw in a set of steak knives.
