thanks for the update.
in my opinion the coming a320's configuration should remain 180 in all economy. these can be used for domestic legs. the business class tickets are not x3 of that of economy class.those with business class can be used for the gulf&india routes.

I don't think 8 J seats are too much. [-X

30 Economy class seats removed for 08 business class seats, on requirement of VIPs. On demand of PIA marketing department plan for all economy A310s and A320s was executed but outside influence made it impossible. So, A310s reverted back and later business class installed on A320s.

Not a wise decision, in my point of view.

I really don't know too much about the situation which you mentioned however I was talking about the amount of J seats on the A320 - which I don't believe its too many.

i also dont think that 8 business class seats is too much but it is not wise to remove 30 economy seats and replace them with only 8 business class seats( the price of a business class ticket is not even x3 of that of an economy).

can they be used for frankfurt flights? ( with either a stop or some blocked seats?)
can they fly to hong kong non-stop? ( to fill the gap left after the withrawal of cathay pacific)
