This thread is true art.

BTW, Y sucks on almost all airlines and if you want J or F guaranteed here is a novel concept for you: pay for it.

To US's credit, I usually get upgraded. But after I'm upgraded and feel my knees jam against the F seat in front of me, I wonder what the foxtrot Dougie did. Hope he leaves the pitch alone on pmAA metal.

And here's a novel concept, there's a thing called an Alliance. In this case, OneWorld that I keep hearing is so grand. Wouldn't it be just spiffy if I, as a OW member/customer with OW qualifying miles on a OW partner airline could use those OW miles to buy a Business Upgrade on a OW flight on a different OW airline, much like buying ANY ticket on OW flights using OW miles earned on a OW airline?
As I said, never an issue for me before when US was in Star Alliance.
And yes, ALL US Domestic carriers suck in one way or another. The US Carriers can't really hold a candle to the bigger Asian or European carriers. Hell, I loved trans-Pacific on even Air Canada, which put both US and AA to shame.
You do understand that US decided to leave *A, US decided to join OW, US decided acquire AA, and the previous management of AA wanted nothing to do with US, right?
So aren't your complaints in the wrong forum?
Besides why would an AA top elite pay full fare Y to upgrade on another airline when he can, 8 times a year, pay fully discounted Y and upgrade on AA? It just makes no sense.
