The last PE-less AA 788 went in for refit yesterday. When it returns to service, all 788 aircraft will have a PE cabin. The downside is that the J cabin went from 28 seats down to 20 seats. That makes the chances of a domestic upgrade and SWU/miles and co-pay international upgraded flights a little more scarce.
