I really liked AA and was an ExPlat for 3-4 years in the 2010s based on a combo of AA and CX flying. They really have abandoned the west coast and Asia since then and it just doesn't make sense for anyone west of the rockies to choose them as their primary if they aren't based in PHX. I'm not sure what their strategy is but no IFE and no Asia presence doesn't seem like a winning one to me, then again I'm not an airline executive so what do I know!
