tried today
first time I've flown in this in CR7 with the Business Class Seats from JFK to YYZ, as others mentioned it is a very nice product, much better than coach, and OK for a short flight.
I purchase J fares From / to Canada, and it makes more sense now connecting through JFK/LGA/ORD/BOS having only (mostly) Eagle Services.

Don't be a fool. Fly the 777 from ORD>DFW, then connect to the late flight to SLC. Same price ORD-SLC on a CRJ in First and one of the last chances to fly the Flagship Suite domestically. I just love getting on that 777 when they call First and walking past the 40-60 people in the upgrade list...

Flying YYZ-ORD-DCA in F
Hi I have never flown Domestic F on AA before. Usually fly US Airways but wanted to give AA a shot. I hear their F service is better than most. Anything to expect differently on these relatively short flights? Both of my flights are on a CRJ.

Overall, I've found Eagle FAs to be attentive in service... maybe a bit more so in F. But, IMHO, it wouldn't be fair to compare CRJ F service (or comfort) to other domestic service (or comfort).

I care! Just wish we'd see some on RDU-JFK. It sucks that if you have a F/J award you are stuck in Y on the first segment.

I'm hoping that AA and the APA can reach an agreement that would permit AA/Eagle to add about 100 70-100 seat Embraer jets. UA and DL fly far more two-class large RJs than the 47 70-seaters at Eagle.

The E-170's and E-190s aren't classified as RJ's, Skywest doesn't fly's anything larger then CRJ-900.
AA/Eagle has had this issue for years, the E-175's would fit right in with Eagle.

LGA-CLT-LGA this week didn't have nuts in a ramekin. Instead, the BOB from Y was offered. Is this a change or a two-off catering error?

I did JFK-DCA in 3A on CRJ-700 yesterday. I thought the seats were nice and the cabin service was attentive overall.
Has anyone noticed the awekward alignments of windows on the CRJ7 both in first and at least the front of economy. Windows come at bigger than usual intervals, so I could look out from 3A only at significant recline.
First was almost empty, with me and another pax on board initially. Both of us were upgrades. Then 4 loud and chatty AA EEs joined right before take off... Have those new seats been getting any revenue? I flew at close of business on a Friday, and expected to see higher loads.
Jackets were collected pre-departure, and distrubuted after landing. Is this std practice on AA? Delta always gives jackets back just prior to touch down?
The Eagle purser had a very strong accent, to the point where most of the announcements were not easy to understand. They provided excellent personal service though.

Tried the new F seat...terrific! As a hedge, try to book seats 5 c-d in coach if you can...awesome legroom (though a bulkhead) and it's a great fallback if the UPG doesn't happen.
