Going back to the first post, I travelled on a Thompson 757 in January, and am surprised that the aged relatives consider that the seat pich is better than Easy. The seats might be higher, and faced with leather, but in my view there is more practical space between the seats on Easy than on Thom. Having sat all over Easy A319's, I've never had my knees against the seat in front, but did so on completely different rows out and back with Thom. In fact on the return leg, after T/o I discovered the row behing was empty and moved, but I still found it an uncomfortable seat. I found the whole Thom 757 experience noisy and claustrophobic, and I'm just a little legged 5'9".
I'm also fit and flexible, and there's no way I could achieve the brace position in either the Thom 757 or an Easy 319.
