@ Michael That looks exciting (from the current J seats), although it seems modifying QF seats with LA tones...
Will JAL introduce a new J with their A350s? I imagine they will release a revamped F
Most excited for LATAM. First because I use them quite a bit and second because the current product is god awful.
Lots of rumors about Air New Zealand! They're going to replace their outdated reverse-herringbone seating at some point.
If BA is 8 seats per row then so is every staggered and herringbone product out there. Draw a line across the cabin and you’ll cut 4 torsos and four sets of legs in any of these configurations.

Virgin’s curent upper class seats could not be any more uncomfortable or narrow than they are now, think sardine can. And, no, I am not particularly large or tall. In the many years I have flown Virgin Upper class the seats have become progressively smaller in order to cram in more passengers. Service, ime, is still excellent, food reasonably good and plane clean. Will continue to fly Virgin because with points we do well on selection of flights and dates out of Miami to London. Virgin passengers also now have access to the new Delta lounge (no more shared service lounge) and departure gate isn’t too far from the lounge. Much improved experience.
SAS gets delivery of its first A350 by the end of 2019, potentially with a new business class seat.
Air New Zealand is almost definitely releasing a new business class product alongside their new fleet announcement an April.
