What happened: Flew LAX>JFK on AA4. Literally nothing worked. Got headphones with busted R ear, so I fished out my pair. Half way through movie, I got the blue screen of death. Took them a while to fix and when they did, the remote was busted. Seat was filthy from previous guests. Wi-Fi slower than my 96 yo Grandpops' AOL connexion. Even the WC sink was busted. And the menu options were absolutely atrocious: cauliflower steak, meatloaf or lobster grilled cheese. I was seriously regretting the purchase, so I took to Twitter.
Compensation: 15000 miles
Comments: It's sad that they've rolled out a new fleet and do nothing to maintain these beasts. And it is amazing how they have cheapened C.
