American has actually announced that they plan on putting lie-flat business, premium economy, MCE, and economy on their future A321XLRs. These planes are meant to replace the longer 757 routes such as PHL-EDI, PHL-SNN, and now PHL-CMN. So, your correct in the short term, but in the long term, AA is planning on fixing this problem.
