I spent many years on US as a CP. Came over to AA with the merger. I've enjoyed AA, upgrades have been good. I've had great success with SWU's. In general happy with AA.

I fly all of the US airlines. I find them all about the same. So, this is not a rant against AA.

However, my flying patterns have change. I fly international on EK, corporate deal. Next year I'll be Gold on AA. My experience in Y with AA/UA/DL is all about the same; not good. Yes, on AA I would have a shot at MCE but given my travel from BOS and destinations I fly to this will not be so easy to get.

So, I'll most likely be sitting in Y. I've decided to move my domestic business to B6. I'm out of BOS so there are a lot of options. I find their Y product least painful. I take a once a year golf trip to MCO fly DL nonstop out of BOS. I buy F on DL same price as C+ plus two free checked bags. In general if I'm going to buy F, I'll take DL.

It's sad to me that AA's Y product has so little going for it, that I'll move my business. In the greater scheme of things no impact to AA. Just a little bit better for me.
