<font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica" size="2">American added space between seats, and its planes now have more legroom in coach (than) Northwest's first-class seats in its narrow-body DC-9s.</font>
Wow. That is pretty sad. The cheap bas*tards should have simply removed coach seats to make room for more first-class seats (rather than removing a few seats and decreasing first-class pitch).
Of course, their program to cut costs by reducing liquor overstocks is yet another stupid plan. And there is the issue of the awful catering found in World Business Class. I could go on and on...
Their next bright idea will be to replace first class with five-abreast business class seating on domestic narrowbodies, like KLM.
