The Neos have a different type of seat to the rest of the fleet behind the emergency exits. It's the same ironing board type that easyJet use. It's an "innovation" from the Alex Cruz eraWillie Walsh and Alex Cruz were instrumental to sending BA into the dumps just to keep shareholders happy. Looks like Sean Doyle is serious about bringing back the 'glory days' of the 80s and 90s people talk about when mentioning BA. Some A320 neos (G-TTNA for example) has a different type of seating to the rest of the dark blue ones, it has a grey type of seat with more legroom which I think was the old economy seating and was better but unfortuntely this new seating doesn't look like a return to that seat type but just a refurb of the current seating.
The announcement basically means they are fitting all new Neos with the same seats throughout, it's a Collins aerospace product which is similar to the Pinnacle seats fitted to the rest of fleet. I'm personally very happy.
I don't really like the slimline seats, especially as they normally get put on longer flights to Athens or Paphos.
