Agree but AA also doesn't call normal 2 class domestic first as "Flagship First". Below is from a MIA-LAX example...
And saying AA is not charging the fare that goes along with those bookings is silly, it's not as if AA has set an arbitrary dollar amount whereby anything above is Flaghsip First and anything below is Business or something else. We live in the world of $300 airfares to anywhere. Below is a random date on JFK-LAX where the 10am flight is $1658 and the 11am flight is $2658, is the average consumer supposed to know/assume that the 10am flight is cheaper than it should be and/or not come with some benefits of the 11am flight?
