It's true that AA FAs don't do a lot of bowing and scraping, but I would much rather have a comfortable seat, and I think AA's beats BA's.

This is exactly why I preferred the service on AA/F longhaul to CX/F. Unquestionably CX had the better product (although the seats were slightly better on AA) in terms of entertainment, amenities, food, drink. But the service was better (to me) on AA.

Cheers.
