Granted, I've not tried every seat on every AA widebody (or the transcons) in J, but in every seat I have had, I don't remember ever having a clear view of other passengers while sitting down unless I leaned way over (beyond the shell) and even then I would probably only see some knee action.

With 50 XLR orders, there is plenty of capacity to use these for the transcon routes -and- open new thin-long routes. I imagine AA will appreciate the flexibility of scheduling some aircraft to hop Europe->JFK/BOS->LAX/SFO (for example).
