I know that's not a statistically fair sample given my more frequent use of US, but I certainly wouldn't go out of my way to fly an AA 77W if a US 332 were the other option - I'd do the opposite.

I find AA 77W J seat more elegant, comfy and practical. US A330 seat has a small gap between the cushion and the back that I found very annoying. I also found the seat itself much harder than AA's.

I am comparing the seats, nothing else, so no need to mention crew.
