To borrow from the OP, It amazes me how many folks obsess about what flying and domestic FC was, is, or will become. It is what it is; a means of conveyance, nothing more. And now back to the dicussion of which brand of manure works better.....
Is there any point at which you will say that too much has been cut? What about plastic cups like DL? What about pay for booze? What about pay for food on longer flights? What about pay for coat hanging? You and some others never cease to amaze me by your ability to just "take it in stride".
For me, my travel is on carriers which still provide a high level of service domestically: CO and UA. But maybe I feel this way because I actually pay for First Class and therefore expect a higher level of service than is (apparently) provided by AA.
