AA does not believe they should have PVE in any planes except for 777.
They would rather have customers use B6, VX or even DL (some flights)
as well as use other International airlines if the customer wants the PVE capability.
The response from BOS transcon for PVE competition from B6 and VX was to reduce and eliminate capacity.

AA is so successful they would rather not spend the xtra money to retain customers who want PVE.
They are NOT even spending $ to have GOGO put on the new 738's from the factory, never mind PVE or even XM/Sirrus.
