The project has been going on forever, and that’s the problem. The seat they picked isn’t even certified yet and according to that same reliable plan you came across, the first one won’t even arrive until mid 2026.
It is still the right move, it just should have been made at least a year ago.
Supermid said "it’s a last minute knee-jerk reaction" and others (not here) have been saying the same. I would disagree since "last minute knee-jerk" wouldn't have those proposals that has been getting updated throughout this year.
I would also say the last few years was focused on the M&A with NK. I doubt there would be any execution of "plan B" if "plan A" went through. We would've had other bigger plans and first class seat would've gone on the back burner. So I don't think it's reasonable to say that they should've annouced this a year or 2 ago when bigger things were in play.
