I don't believe they gave it a chance to try and find out. There is no way I am getting on the 763 for a three hour domestic flight (due to op. issues) let alone a seven hour TATL hop (op issues and product). Even with no Star alliance status I'd fly LX on this route.

AA in NYC is becoming almost unusable. Lately, work has me traveling a lot between NYC and Seattle and AA is just a non-starter. Now they've even taken away the Sunday night red-eye from SEA to JFK.

Looks like I'll have to move most of my flying to DL. I would gladly move to JetBlue and that excellent (and well priced) Mint product, but the lack of a lounge with showers makes that option tough
