My guess is this will depend on airports AA uses as depots and how rapidly they use up existing supplies of materials. We've seen this with items such as amenity kits, etc.

I don't see a quantum leap of quality, or items that have been added. To me it merely appears AA has chosen to change suppliers and to try to make a Big Thing of it. Color me not impressed.

Good PR department maybe.

"Let's tell them we're going to 29" in MC. Then we can walk out the Meridian 30" pitch and they'll think they gained an inch instead of losing it."

"We need some good news; what have we got?" "Well, we're changing suppliers on the bedding..." "Oh, cool! We can make that look great!"

Color me cynical. It comes with America West management deconstructing my airline.
