Flew the A320 (in First) from MCO to ATL yesterday. Seat pitch seems not so good (maybe even not as good as EC on a 757?)
Wasn't impressed.
Service was great, FAs were great...A320 just meh, though.

True, although the comment was about a route has been almost all 757s for the past few years (and used to be a 767 route, along with L1011s, MD-11s, and 777s - oh the good old days), so I can see the point if havnfn is refering to routes that used to see 757s are now seeing worse aircraft types, even if the thread is about 737-900s replacing 757s.

I don't know what the consequences were but I saw a gate agent destroy a Pitot tube one day.

Had a 73E flight from MCI to ATL a few months ago, but it has gone and the mix of 757, M88, and M90 has returned. I am getting to fly on the 73E twice in future; once from ATL to LAX and once from DTW to LAX, providing there is no equipment change.

Whatever I will choose Boeing or Airbus, but not on ERJ or CRJ. I flew on EMB-190 before, but the seat is very tight. I dislike to fly E190.

You think so, Scotty? I find the E190 to be fairly comfortable of the regional fleet. Not as good as the bigger jets, but not bad.

Guess you don't remember last year's discussion in the AA A-321 thread:

I remember it and again AA tried it a couple of time, and since then they are boarding from 1L on the A321T. Yes many people said I was wrong and they they do in Europe (board from 2L)... Hell, they drive 150 mph in Europe too but that doesn't mean that AA will board from 2L on the A321T on a regular basis.

One major disappointment is the lack of satellite tv. The DL on demand gets old... this is something the 752's have that I really like. Sure, the channels are limited, but I can usually find something.
