If American's First class product on the 321T is pricing the same as Delta's Business class product on JFK-SFO, then its American who has the problem, and a big one at that.
If that isn't the case then the Delta 757 seat in C is literally exactly the same seat as the AA 321T C seat. So I'm confused.

It's all going to come down to pricing. and frequencies (until those ramp back up).
uh. Not transcons in Polaris lounge and I didn't think transcons C got into the Flagship Lounge either.

You're correct. UA only offers United Club access to its transcon J passengers. Polaris is only for international.
I'll never understand why we always have these threads. "AA F is better than DL C!"
I bet those same people crap themselves when they figure out Y is way worse than both. God help them if they have to fly G4/NK/F9.

You could argue Delta has the market because of the middle seat blocking. IMO that is much more valuable to me than airplane food.
