No was in the air from LHRRoadking5560 said:With the passage of time after your response it seems jcw has to have time to reflect on its significance to the big picture. I wish him/her luck.

"Less premium" is right. As many predicted would happen as soon as USukAir/America Worst management came in, the start of Wal Mart Air would begin. First class no longer exists, its coach with a wider seat, "premium" AA food is gone apparently. Recently on a HNL-LAX, all that was served in "first class" was a fruit and dry cerial on the 321 Scarebus. The passengers were not happy to say the least. What a joke, but it wasn't funny. Especially when the passengers are paying for first class that's far from it. It's no wonder USukAir/America Worst was always ranked at the bottom in just about every catagory. The largest Wal Mart AAir flying. This merger was a big mistake.GlobalByrd said:Really?
Converting the 772's to a less premium heavy configuration allows AA to profitably deploy a large aircraft on routes outside of LHR, GRU, HKG, FRA, and SYD that don't have a demand for expensive F seating.
Ironically, the 772's will go back to three cabins when the premium economy seats are installed.

My argument is that AA is/was suppose to be a premium airline, currently the largest in the world making billions a quarter. I'm hearing from all over, passenger and employees alike saying what you said, the cheapening of AA at an alarming rate. It's been said, that DUI Doug knows the cost of everything, and the value of nothing. I'm not a customer service expert, but if I paid for a first class HNL-LAX ticket and was served a banana and cold cereal on a Flexi-flier 321 I would not be happy. I would surmise a pineapple flight would command a premium. I guess not at Wal Mart Air.GlobalByrd said:Your argument seems to be based on the idea that only AA is removing F. However its happening at many airlines around the world, even airlines more 'premium' than AA. The hard reality is that after the 2008 financial crisis, many routes simply cannot support an F cabin. With regards to Doug the Deceiver, I have disliked him since he became CEO at America West( which I loved) and tried to warn many that he would bring that same cheap style to AA.
thats the problem. Domestic F in the US has become upgrade class. Hopefully with the changes to the mileage programs it will get better.Hackman said:My argument is that AA is/was suppose to be a premium airline, currently the largest in the world making billions a quarter.
