On many domestic airlines I've found that first class is not worth it because I'm essentially paying for a wider seat (not important to me as I'm tall and lean) and food, and the food is typically terrible.

That said, I know that the first class product has improved on some domestic carriers/routes, so I'm wondering if that's the case here. Thanks.
Your experience with domestic first class on other carriers is more or less exactly what you'll get with AA. On the 321 & 738 you'll have a larger seat, slightly more legroom, free booze, and a meal that can vary from mediocre to inedible. Whether that's worth the cost is up to you .
