They are not being hurt - they definitely hold their own - however - when UAL redid their 757s and nixed the 767s but made it into a premium service transcon ( chocolate covered strawberries, kir royal, personal dvd players with 10 dvds per person(no cost), bose headsets, great food and desserts... They took alot of transcon business passengers from AA.. However they dont get the connecting traffic AA does to europe to JFK rather UAL get it to IAD where AA doesn't and Delta Doesnt and everyone else and there dog doesnt. PS shocked AA's execs, I will look for some articles, it has been a couple of years though - fly it some time - you will enjoy it as well - i know i buy a zed when i can and fly it from la and san fran, great product. Mikey i have a question, does AA currently have sleepers on the 777? or just a 3/4 lie flat? Was confused since they said they were doing a makeover to lie flat or is this just on the 767. Also Delta will enter the Premium transcon service they have said, so it should be interesting, since they are the AA competitor at JFK.
