Qantas boosts international capacity, wet lease Finnair aircraft

Toppers are an easy fix but seat cushions are actually more complicated since it actually may require a new regulatory approval with EASA. Sounds absurd, but inability to get seats to pass regulatory safety tests has become a huge cause of delays with new aircraft and refurbishments.

AY don't provide any special cushions apart from those that are a fixed part of the seat They just give you 2 different sized pillows, neither very good.
 
have flown both QF and AY J have said that it could be remedied on QF to a large extent by their using the right accessories with the seats. Is 112 unique J seats in operation enough to now justify this? How long would the leases likely run for?

I should’ve adopted all of the AY soft product. Mattress toppers, menu copper service standard the lot. it’s such a change of experience going from one wet lease AY to the proper thing onwsrds to Europe.

Could be easily solved by having velcro or some way to tie/clip it in position;

I did take a couple of Velcro squares on my Qantas and AFF flights and they worked pretty good but did detach from the seat after awhile. If they were in built I dare say it would be better.
