I am assuming you flew on their 738?

It's a coin toss when it comes to their hard and soft products on board.

I'll admit it was pretty neat the first time I sat down in a 738 seat on AA and couldn't believe the room.

Ive had some outstanding food and some really questionable food on both carriers. Same thing can be said for the crews.

I don't own an iPad and my 17" laptop is more or less a pain to drag around, but I prefer wifi and PTVs over food any day of the week.

AAs Samsung tablet is great if you haven't watched it before (as they only hand those out on certain transcon sectors) choices go pretty quickly.

I was star struck so to speak the first time on an AA 738 and saw everything you wrote about. But after the first few times, it's just another flight on a different route/day/carrier.

I guess I'm jaded, but just 200 miles left before a million lifetime on Delta and already over 300K on AA over the last few years, it's all the same to me.

And AA sells their upg coach fares at a reasonable amount as well. DL is not alone in this and is not close to the worst (as has been documented over on the UA/CO board countless times).

When it's boiled down, they really are all the same crap in a different wrapper.
