Hmm... Daveland-- I'd consider IB transatlantic J for the new seats, but I don't see how your experience is "a lot like AA" since you listed (1) no IFE; 1 movie not viewable by all, (2) losing assigned seats for no reason (IB also did this to me twice even though my seats were not reassigned to anyone else), (3) FA's are not friendly (understandment of the year). YMMV
