There was also a time when the AA/APFA contract required higher than minimum staffing on certain flights; I believe at one point in time M80 dinner flights with the "deluxe dinner" (longer midcon) service contractually required an extra FA.

This just emphasizes what I've said all along - there was no good reason to reconfigure 321s from 16J to 20J. The added row of uncomfortable seats is crammed in in such a way as to take legroom out of every J row. Also service is degraded when the same FA assigned to work the front cabin has to serve 20 as opposed to 16 passengers.
