Seems a waste of time / effort if these brand new A/C have the existing seating config only to be re-confirgrued again later this year!
VS don't seem particularly good at stuff like this in all honestly. It all seems very unorganised as it means taking yet more A/C out of service to make these changes.
VS don't even seem to know what they are doing yet with the A330-200 A/C they have got from Air Berlin that are not even in service yet!
The reconfiguration won't take too long to do , especially in Economy, It'll be as simple as unclipping/removing a row of seats and then moving the rest of the rows along the track to the new seat pitch. Along with just putting the new seat covers on, it shouldn't take more than 2 days to do (even 1 day if they really put their heart to it).
G-VWOO has the current configuration as will the next two aircraft I'd imagine. It's probably more logical for VS to have the new 787s in the same configuration as the older models so the whole of the fleet can be reconfigured later in the year at the same time instead of having a few examples floating around in the system for several months.
