Nice, same here, though I didn't need to position. I routed on several different A/C - 738(old), 321T, 757, 738(new/38D), 767 ---
In business class, I would rate these aircraft as follows:
763
321T
752
738(38D)
738(old)
The food on the 321Ts was much better than the 763, but I much preferred the aisle-access 763 seats, even though there was no IFE.
Ironically, the worst segment was the international MIA-PTY segment, as AA seems to fly the old 738s on this route...
My only regret is not booking one of these trips for 2016. Oh well, hopefully it comes around again. At 450 US for 28540 RDM, this flight clocked in at 1.5CpRDM.. and around 4.5CpEQM.
