I verified and chatted with jspira to re-verify - same seats in MCE and MC, same width. The only differentiation is the seat pitch and 3-3-3 seating. I am wondering if AA will some day upgrade the cabin to be a genuine premium economy product they can charge more for, and keep in step with the oneworld airlines that already offers such a product (BA, CX, JL and QF, anyway - and if there are more, somenoe else will quickly chime in).


So AA will forego the revenue from four MCE seats in exchange for several linear feet of wider aisles? All the while, squishing the elites and the buy-up nonelites into a needlessly skinny seat? That makes no sense at all.

No wonder AA is in bankruptcy.
