The ironic thing is that amongst the US3, DL was actually the leader in reducing pitch in both F and Y. But because DL put in IFE while AA tore out IFE, AA has gotten the most coverage over its densification.
At least AA has responded to complaints about the DL style partition behind F they tried to adopt and has revised it to increase privacy. (I do miss the old bulkheads though, which UA still has.)
