From the article:
"Consumers may rebuff plans for cramming more seats into an aircraft, especially with airline seats reportedly shrinking more and more each year, but the company hopes to provide a high level of comfort for passengers by designing some seats that can recline 130 to
180 degrees."

Some guys on here make fun of this possibility from Airbus, because it is still in the patenting phase. I think the company looks at this TA, and all negotiations 20 years out, while our horizon is about 4 years out. They have the long term strategy. Now, when/if this or similar patents are approved, and our TA is voted it, our CBA language will be ready for these seats.
