Yes, it's true that the NYS politicians pushed for low fare competition at BUF since they built a brand new airport terminal and JetBlue was influenced to serve BUF, ROC, and SYR in exchange for political support. However that doesn't change the fact that there was sufficient demand for BUF-JFK service and it is a profitable market for them. It turned out to be a win-win situation for all - well except for AA (who subsequently withdrew Eagle turboprop service in that market).

with regard to the PTV's on the A330's, if you get one that does not work, are you entitled to compensation, even if it is only a domestic flight?? Because thats part of the reason I selected to fly business class in the first place

o well in that case, I remember back to this summer when I was flying in J on a reward from LHR to YVR and the legrest wouldn't extend, so basically my feet were left to dangle from just below the knees. Am I entitled to anything for that, the person sitting beside me had the same problem, but nobody else on the plane had that problem.

as for compensation for non-working PTV's and legrests... I don't think that it's crew reluctance to offer compensation but rather a lack of knowledge of what type of compensation to offer. Located in the flight satchel on every AC flight, crew can find J 8x10 compensation vouchers which outline exactly what to offer for the various inconveniences. The smaller ticket type 15$ vouchers for dry cleaning and meal shortages have been disontinued and are no longer being offered.
My own experience has shown that some pursers prefer to offer a bottle of champagne or wine for the inconvenience rather than fill out the paperwork for the standard compensation.

Do you know when they discontinued to offer them? I ask because I was given exactly one of those vouchers for dry cleaning on Sept. 19 on a flight YQR-YYZ, that's less than 4 weeks ago.

No, if you look at the date of the initial thread, it was at the beginning of this year, before AC deferred delivery of the new 345's
Nothing has changed since they deferred delivery. They are still sitting unused at Toulouse.
