This was in Y, not J. The J seats did look nice-ish. What is with that color though? ;-)
To your points, my last international AA flight on a 767 did not have any IFE in coach aside from a main screen - so comparable in that regard vs. say VS where you get seatback IFE in coach. and to #3, I've had plenty of unfriendly AA FA's in the back of the bus!
But you are correct that AA is brilliant at holding seats
