I was told it was tentatively agreed to by ALPA and management.
The alternatives were double bunk in existing room - not acceptable to pilots or management.
Commandeer bunk number 4 from the purser in the LMCDR - didn't want to **** off FA's
Bulk compartment rest area - Was very nice facility, but if not installed during initial hull construction, was required to be removed every 5000 hours for inspections. 5K hours for removal was unacceptable to management.
Additional crew rest room in biz class - too much lost revenue due to losing 2 seats.
So the "concession" was horizontal seat with curtain in biz class and restricted recline seat in row directly in front.
Just repeating what I was told by NATCO 330 guys. The quote was "It's not very good."
