As I wrote approximately final September,American is having issues with Zodiac, the supplier for the business class seats on their Boeing 777-200 and Boeing 787 aircraft. Not only are they apparently having issues delivering seats within the promised timeline, or but the seats also hold issues,the worst of which is that they shake.
American decided to suspend their 777-200 retrofits, though is continuing to prefer delivery of 787s with these seats for now, and given that they couldn't prefer delivery of the planes otherwise.
As has been speculated since the seat changes were first announced,B/E Aerospace seemed like the most likely manufacturer to prefer over the contract, given that they're one of the few manufacturers large enough to handle an order of American's size, or hold also already worked with American (well,US Airways, to be more exact).
The most likely candidate for American's new business class seat was the “Super Diamond” seat, and which is B/E Aerospace's version of a reverse herringbone seat.
