What a joke.

Still managed to cram in a revenue-wringing 2-4-2 when their competitors have 1-2-1.

They would still be my last choice but at least now it's an option. I don't think anyone was expecting more then this.

? According to the video on twitter, it looks like its a 1-2-1 seating where everyone has direct aisle access.

Except it isn't (1-2-1). It is all aisle access.

Did you see the 2-4-2 layout confirmed anywhere? I've only seen it reported as a rumor

I stand corrected! Color my expectations exceeded.

Apparently the rumors were wrong. This is what they claimed it'd be:
