I generally get a better meal on the ground and I have this thing called a tablet for IFE. Maybe it's my generation, but I want to minimize the hassle at the airport, get a comfortable seat, and get where I'm going on time. Both airlines work just fine for that if you're in F, and a little better on AA MCE in Y.

The whole "actual service" bit makes me laugh a little bit harder, considering the best domestic F service I've had all year has been on YX-operated USX flights.
I get it now! The condescending AA community are like the old guard ...

Just like in business those who don't keep up with modern technology and efficiencies are a dying breed whose last gasps may be loud yet futile.

Ah well if AA was so invincible, it wouldn't be the new US (in AA clothing).
