The upgrade award on CX from the Y cabin to PEY is one of the major advantages of their program (In my not so humble estimation).
Has there been any speculation on when this type of award will be made available with AA. As well it seems that the xONEx rules have not yet been updated to reflect the PEY cabin on AA.
I ask the above as I have a LONEx to complete sometime in 2018....

Fair enough...but it would still mean the elimination of Y-J if it becomes consistent with what the other OW carriers with W have in place

Bulkhead footrests in PE are awesome. The pair of bulkhead seats on side are best in PE.
Based on experience DFW-CDG and return. I'm 6'5".

Having sat in row 1 and row 2 of PE, I much preferred row 1 (the bulkhead). More space and the footrests were appreciated.

The fact that there is no seat in front of you reclining into your space is the best feature of the bulkhead row. Esp. if you're a solo traveler and want the window. Much easier to get out. ^

You mentioned that the bulkhead seats on the side -in my case seats 9A,C / 9J,L (window section), are best. I'm curious to know why you prefer these vs the middle section -in my case seats 9D-H in PE.
Any thoughts will be greatly appreciated.

i just don't like being in the middle section. And there may be slightly more room between wall and seat on the sides.

I'm assuming the miles redemption is somewhere between economy and business?

IMHO, PE is marginally better than Y, but nowhere near being 1/2 the way to J. Paid price reflects this reality as well, so we'll see what the awards redemption rate will settle at.

NRT isn't the only route that begins to sell PE from 12/15. AA is installing PE on 772s, and by 12/15, 30+ 772 fleets (all 37J ones) will likely have it ready. That's when AA begins to sell PE.
