If only they were as creative as AA on their A321XLRs.

Etihad has the reverse herringbone in its a321LR fleet. But we'll see what QF selects then how long until they join the fleet. I suspect it'll be something that already running on the type though to avoid the hassle of certification.

Cam mentioned this recently so almost certainly going to be off shelf with a QF palette.

Nothing wrong with that anything is a huge step up from recliners I guess.

Wouldn't expect anything else
In recent history it's only the First Class suites that have been bespoke, and even then been designed with a manufacturer (A380 B/E Aerospace and A350 Safran)

I think it's also airlines now getting scared to do seat certifications. If you alter it a bit too much it'll need to be recertified and that could be a whole new can of worms.
