My son, who thinks the Christopher Mitchell exploits are hilarious, made a discovery today.
He asked the same question I did. "What kind of first class seat is that?"
My son caught the little Delta logo in the corner, and we then went searching on the web and found the truth.
Here again is Chrissy's seat. Notice the red Delta logo in the corner near his fat head:
On Delta, there are three kinds of first class. There's "Delta One" cubicles, the premium product, which looks like this:
That's obviously NOT what Chrissy had. Next in the hierarchy there is Delta One lie-flat. Those seats don't have a cubicle, but they do lie flat, even though it doesn't look like it from this picture:
Again, that's NOT what Chirssy had.
So what did he get? Chrissy got the bottom-tier "first class", and he got it on the terrible A321neo plane, which is known to be cramped and have low ceilings.
A full discussion of all of this can be had on "Nerdwallet":

Here's their description of Chrissy's crappy "first class" seat:
Delta first class seats offer up to eight inches of additional leg room (when compared with economy class) and up to a 5.4-inch recline. On some flights, pillows and blankets are available.
LOL!!!!
Poor Chrissy wasn't even guaranteed a pillow or blanket! Sad!
I hope he enjoyed the 8 inches of additional legroom (which he clearly doesn't need), and the whopping 5.4 inch recline.
NOTHING BUT THE BEST FOR THE BLOAT!
