Having read the entire post from beginning to end (mild sedative required)
1. There is no evidence to suggest AA will ever have the capacity to deliver a true F product - a burnt-out service culture epitomised by your bed linen dumped on your seat as the first sign that greets you and plastic cups for you PDB - F and J food and wine basically interchangeable and posts reflecting difficulty accepting this and casting their votes elsewhere the norm
2. It may work as a budget three class airline (J, PE, E) with average to above average food
3. Many of the contributors seem to keep going back to AA in the way we may return to a relationship that keeps ending badly and we fail to heed the advice of "common sense" and friends we trust
4. The AA/UA future with respect to food, wine and service culture is treatment resistant and bleak.
