do you get the sense that this might still be in play?

Upcoming 321 red-eye! Definitely want to try to get some sleep

Row 25 is the one with good legroom on my flight available. Both 25A and 25F are available right now! Neither has seat in front. Which would you recommend is quieter or better to sleep? 25F is maybe farther from the bathroom but might be closer to people congreagting for bathroom?

LAA 321 25F / LUS 321 23F is my favorite coach seat. You still have storage under the seat 2 rows ahead, whereas the A side is a bulkhead.

I'm looking at a PHX-PHL redeye on an A321. As best I can tell (limited to Seatguru and knowing this is LUS hub-to-hub), I shouldn't expect power, even in F. Am I reading correctly that AA.com would list "32B" and not "321-Airbus" if it had power? If that isn't the best way, should I do a dummy booking to see what MCE is on offer as a guide to which aircraft?

Yes, this is correct. You can also tell by the flight # - the LUS aircraft are flights 400-889 and 1650-2174

I saw it suggested that it was awkward for them to have different seats in the same row classified differently. 23A/F are still extreme legroom seats and still my first choice as I take these birds frequently.

AA SEA-PHL - domestic F seats on the A321
 

Apologies if this has been debated here before - just a bit confused by my experience on AA....

Took the overnight flight AA767 SEA-PHL last week. I usually pay for domestic F when I travel within the US - obviously mainly pay for the seat. Thought USD670 one way was a pretty decent deal. However, the seat recline on the A321 was minimal and managed to sleep for perhaps 30min on that flight. Normally I'm able to sleep in domestic F reasonably ok. Now, are the F seats on the AA A321s pretty much the worst in the industry?

I think the last time I flew on AA domestic F (MD-80 and regional a/c) was summer of 2016, so not particularly familiar with the product.

I have paid for domestic F on UA, DL, B6 (mint though), AS, SY over the past years - so would like to think that I more or less know what to expect. Perhaps not?

There are ex-US A321s, ex-AA A321s, and ex-AA A321s with a 3-cabin layout.

Do not expect seat commonality across the AA fleet. With 950+ mainline aircraft ranging from brand-new to 30+ years old and refurb/seat 'densification' projects ongoing, it just can't happen.

The 320 and 321 are old US birds. When you book they are 320 and 321 (vs 32B for the Legacy AA ones).

minimal pitch, minimal recline, no IFE, no power. They are awful.

I flew US DCA-PHL/CLT-SEA weekly for eight years and never had a problem with any of the F seats on the US Airbus fleet. IMHO, the seats US had were far more comfortable than the new ones AA now uses on its domestic planes, which always give me a backache on longer flights.

And, many of the US A321s are not that old. The last one was delivered June 2015, less than three years ago.

In the long haul it won’t matter much. All A321 and B737 series will have the A319 F seats with reduced pitch of 37”, receded recline from 6” to 4”if I recall. Main Cabin will have the Meridian seats with MCE reduced to 33”, MC to 30”, with the new slimline stress position ;) “microlavs” It’s called “Project Oasis”, because it’ll look like a desert back there, given WN has the Meridian seat rolling out in their 737 MAX 8s with 32”pitch.
