Hmm... still no warm nuts or baked-on-board cookie selections in domestic FC?
 
What is the oven situation in the narrowbody Airbus galleys, anyway? One or two? Half-length, or full length? If it's less than 2 full-length ovens, I would think that it will be necessary for a complete galley reconfiguration before inflight catering can truly be up to AA domestic standards.
