Isn't this a little too close to our old J class????
Agree - I think you may mean "Regional J Class". We still have (as far as I know) all 772's all 773's (RR) and 12-13 older 330's in the old regional J - first introduced in 1994 - fitted with small TV's, no AVOD and using Video TAPE (I didn't know anyone made tapes anymore - and that bank of old VCRs must weigh a ton!), no in seat (normal AC)power socket etc.
What's more on Cathay Pacific.com descriptions of Regional J have disappeared see here:
Cathay Pacific - What's Onboard : Travel Classes > Business Class
So imagine a passengers confusion & disappointment when they transfer from Long Haul J to Regional J after having maybe experienced Premium EY on another flight. Admittedly Regional J is 45" in pitch and is only six (A330) or 7 (B777) across vs. 38" pitch and 8 across on P-EY. Seat width is virtually identical.
IMHO Regional J has to be upgraded to a modern J Class ASAP or we will lose customers.
On the subject of P-EY - I wonder if the iJourney team could get on the front foot and announce the Staff travel procedures/fares etc for using it?
Looks like a great product - but lets have more consistency of product across ALL the fleet - after all we are meant to be a "Business" airline.
