This stuff is not beyond the wit of man, but it relies on a company recognizing the value in it.
But CX are always boarding larger aircraft than an A319 where 2/3 of passengers can have some sort of "Priority". Totally agree with AA though, they really do it well. You'd think they could teach their JV partners how to do it!
