Really? It seems Iberia's A319 have 142 seats in one class, while BA have 143 and Vueling have 144. Are they really going to squeeze an additional 56 seats into these aircraft?
Iberia's A320 have 171, BA's have 168, Aer Lingus have 174 and I don't know about Vueling.
Mr. Calder also says BA will be continue to do good business with their Business class. Well, if they maintain that, how will they deal with the A321 fleet going from 131Y & 23C to this magical 188?
Thank goodness we have these experts available to explain everything so clearly to us!
I honestly don't know how he continues to get away with his incorrect "facts" like he does.
He just spurts out random numbers that he'll have half seen somewhere, put them together and then expect everyone to believe it...
