I'm not saying things are great but what has changed recently that makes it tougher? I don't recall any changes to domestic F in recent years. Seats havent changed unless you're in one of the new slimline F seats. Smaller meals I guess. Planes with no IFE at least have the streaming thing. I actually enjoy flights with directv.
Sure a wide body might get you a lie-flat-seat but that's not a change from before that would make things tougher.
