Yup - but the business class on that aircraft now has a 70" seat pitch with personal DVD players. They *claim* all other elements of the service will remain the same.

The sting in the tail is that Y has been increased to 33", PE has been decreased to 35". Lot of unhappy people, I'd guess...

And no IFE in these classes [:(] - hence the DVD players (fighting for table space with food etc) in biz.

Well, there IS IFE - but it's more old-style (ala United Trans-con) rolling tape with central TV monitors down the aisles.

No different to Air Canada's Y product across the water, I guess.
