not only that, they will soon be also competing against lie flat bed from Mint and DL 75S on JFK-SEA. Their other great point of expansion SAN will also face off against Mint and DL 75S. I would imagine AS F cabin will be full of complimentary upgrades. At least SJC hasn't gotten the mint treatment yet, but maybe that will change too.
Here is a question, what about EMS vs AS F? (supposedly mosaic members often get EMS upgrades) Pitch wise they are comparable if you sit in row 6, but EMS doesn't offer anything extra in terms of food or drinks and are 6 across seats with limited recline.
