He politely told me blankets are only put on "transcon" flights and SFO/MIA is not considered a "transcon." The flight goes from the west coast to the east coast so in my book that would be a "transcon." Even the FA thought not considering that route as a transcon was insane.
Transcon is described by AA as JFK-LAX/SFO where they use the 321T. BOS-SFO/LAX may also count as a TC.
