I really think they need to change that policy if they are going to maximize the market. There are plenty like me that won't do Economy on a long-haul flight.
Very good point. I see from seat guru it's 49 P/E seats with a seat pitch of 35" and 273 down the back with 31". The latter is the same as most of the legacies, but I would expect the P/E to be very popular subject to the fare differential being reasonable.
