Look at what's happened to the trans-Atlantic market - Who would want to fly AA in First of Business when there are so many other superior alternatives. If they don't react quickly on the domestic markets they are going to lose that business traveler too. Song and Jet Blue are looking more and more attractive with superior service and product.

BA's got it right - the road to profitability is thru their loyal premium passengers and their bottom line proves it with a strong profit.

Wake up AA!
