This is a crazy competitive market out of BOS, with AA, B6, DL, UA, VX/AS all in play. I'm guessing if AA goes flat-bed route, then the dominos will fall, one way or another.
I highly doubt AA WILL go lie-flat. They only run one daily on MIA-LAX and that's a premium route for them. Also I'm not sure they have the A321Ts that would be needed for the route if they even wanted to.
