In both briefings, Captain L refers to the flat-bed seats in comparison with the angled one Flaps just had the pleasure of using recently. His comments clearly address the superiority of the flat-bed over the angled. He refers to them researching the seats and they will provide an opportunity for better rest. What exactly is the point of research or telling us how bad the angled seats are if we're still going to get them anyway? I feel his statements definitely leave a reasonable viewer with the impression that the flat-bed was now supposed to be the expected seat and we will not be seeing the angled seat any longer.
"It's about getting rest and fatigue mitigation in that seat, the flat-bed, this isn't the one that goes at an angle and you wake up on your knees after you've taken a two-hour nap, these are the ones that go fully flat." (Captain L, Memphis roadshow, 9 Sep 2015)
