Once, about 25 years ago, the only passengers in F -- I think it was LHR-JFK -- were my girlfriend and me, and the AA CEO and his wife, and the crew spent too much time kissing up to the CEO. That's the one thing I can think of in 30+ years of flying AA.
It's not that AA F is horrible (like Air India or something), but it's not worth being called an F product. Why spend more for less?
AA doesn't try to do anything special or better in F. It's the same soft product, albeit you may get a super surly seniority FA. The seats are in crappy condition and rock on the swivel slightly.
There's zero reason to buy AA F over AA J.
