Emergency exits and crew numbers determine the maximum number of seats. If already at maximum number with regular seats then slimline seats by default increase the pitch.
My only arguments on board have been about morons reclining their seats to maximum deflection, at full speed and no prior warning. Not great if there is a glass of liquid on your tray table.....
So three cheers for slimline, no recline seats, which I also find are comfortable.
Was on a Brussels A320 this week with a new interior. 30 rows (so same as EZY), with the same number of seats, but a different arrangement with much smaller toilets and the last row of seats has no windows. Far less comfortable, despite the recline and less space for the cabin crew on their rest. What a waste....
