And please....VX is gone, it wasn't sustainable, so lets not use it as the model.
I prefer the AS seats in F to UA F seats (non lie flat ones) hands down. UA has lie-flats on there PS runs and I agree the AS product can't compete there but then again you have to put up with UA FAs and service. Was going to move most by business over to AS this year with the new routes that opened up post merger being a game changer for me but UA threw GS status at me so I will hang at least one more year with UA. FWIW, UA's GS status has been very UNimpressive so far but can't status match as I already did that several years back with AS as a UA 1K and was pretty much told the status match is a one and done thing.
