the entire philosophy of emphasizing loyalty and upgrades into these subpar seats reminds me of that old joke about the two guys at a restaurant complaining about the awful food, and such small portions. "yes, our F is from the 20th century, but look how often we'll let you sit there!"
Let's please compare apples with apples and oranges with oranges. Which airlines offers transcon lie-flat F on all routes at all times? Saying a recliner seat is subpar to a lie-flat is meaningless, especially when that "subpar" product is Superior to the recliner F on that same airline that offers lie-flats. It didn't economically make sense for AS to consider a sub-fleet of aircraft to compete in the trancon market. What makes you think a post-Covid era with a multi-year recovery, an alliance membership in
oneworld and closer partnership ties with AA is going to change that?
