I believe they are now kitted out with leather seats throughout and 33″ seat pitch, or atleast the ones operating for Canadian Affair are. The fuselage narrows at the rear of the cabin so the config becomes 2-3-2 which IMO is much better than the 3-3-3 it is furthur forward.

– no mention of leather seats though, I guess they’ll be fabric.
Why the need to know – are you planning to fly with them?
