Absolutely. Even as one who enjoys meals aloft and who would be sorry to see them go, I think concern is more properly addressed to the people wo work for American who may be hard put to afford the rent let alone smoked salmon. At this point in time, it is as sensitive as complaining to the bereaved about the cocktails being served at their Mother's wake.
I do agree wholeheartedly that product dilution on International will be self fulfilling, and more passengers will be tempted elsewhere. I just think that this is neither the time nor the place. I agree with the person who said that we the FFs have come off losing very little for now, it seems to be the staff who are once again going to take this on the chin.
