They're working on it. In process.

I cannot figure out why they fly those planes from EWR to a market like MIA, I'm really sick of it.
Where do you suggest they fly them? They're currently a sizable portion of the fleet, so they have to be flown somewhere! Given that AA owns MIA, CO doesn't need to use equipment with large capacity. Fly to FLL if you want bigger planes with more FC seats...
8 seats (2 rows) in FC, and the "bulkhead" is a weird fabric-y contraption, so the second row of FC reclines into the first row of coach. Pitiful.
A lot of airlines have this. I'm not sure why it matters so much. Are the folks in the Y bulkhead that much more prone to kicking your seat back when you're in row 2 compared to, say the folks behind you in FC if you were seated in row 1? Frankly, I like the curtain because it gives that row in Y more legroom which comes in handy to pre-book in case the upgrade doesn't clear...
