Actually AA is (mis)using it too -- see

which talks about the "Flagship Experience" as being every international 763 and 777.

Flagship Suite, Flagship Lounge, Flagship Experience... I have no problem with use of the word Flagship, but there should at least be some consistency across uses. AFS/IFS made sense, but the recent trend smacks a little to much of "everyone is above average"/"let's make everyone feel special".

I can't wait to take my next Flagship Saab SF3 flight!
