Certainly we are geeking out on this a bit much. But, as has been discussed they are not the same seats; it seems there may be a higher degree of "shared space" in the AA product design vs jetBlue.

AA has already confirmed they will be bringing the XLR to SNA. One has to assume they've figured out any weight considerations.

Will be interesting to see UA's response. I don't think EWR-SNA can meet profitability targets with 32 premium seats 3x daily, but maybe UA will operate one or two flights with lie flats...
