This transition from DL to AA is turning out to be a mixed bag. I do rather miss the free unlimited - space available - upgrades for elites. Apparently award availability will be better when I need it though, so that is good.
1. A 45 minute turn time on a 188 seat 757 is pretty fast. I don't think anyone is turning 757s in less than 45 minutes.
2. Isn't AA's FC bigger?
3. FA indifference is a big issue.
4. I think load factors in FC and in coach constribute to it. Its very difficult on certain flights for the FA to get back and forth when the cabin is being boarded.
