As someone bicoastal I can understand this move. I was on an AA flight where I was the only pax in J on the A321, and F was full of non revs. ( this back in March)
It would be perfect for people if they had at least 1 afternoon flight from LA because unlike my younger self, I don't take red eyes.
In some ways it is an upgrade. I have been op-up and upgraded to F many times, ( as a BA gold - I don't have status on AA) besides the seat ( which is better on the 77E) the food and dining is the other differentiator ( which I don't really care for). Too much food actually in F.
People that fly to SF that don't like red eyes are kind of screwed. DL doesn't serve proper food in business class, and UA's old 757s and EWR is a non starter.
