Don't even start me on that dumbassery - it is the only Altitude policy that makes me flat-out angry. What, they don't want 50/75Ks cheapening the Tango product?

I moved the majority of my US travel over to AA based solely on this; I'm a tall guy with a chronic back problem, so E+ is non-negotiable for me. I'll take an earlier flight and extra hours of layover if the properly-timed flight doesn't have an exit or bulkhead left.
