AA needs to show City of Brotherly Love some consistent love from the West Coast. We're not all that interested with going to JFK in the garrunteed luxury of the transcontinental three class service.
Would be be nice to see one of the heavies on a PHL-LAX/SFO-Hawaii routing before backing back to PHL then to the EU.

But it to my surprise yesterday, it wasn't there for my searches of a returning trip I have to MIA next month. Bummed!

We Philadelphians have longed for a consistent lie-flat premium product to the West coast for decades. The numbers must not be there to market a dedicated service, otherwise it would have happened. They're not going to sub a standard 321 for a 321-Transcon on a JFK-LAX/SFO route. But they will sub a 767 or even 321 on a PHL-LAX/SFO route that's got a 332 assigned if needed.

AA must know the need is there if they're tracking and trending F/J purchases vs. upgrades when the A332 and 767 is in the rotation as well as the routing of passengers that are no EU to/from bound. (like me).

You'll be fine on either heavy for the trek transcon. I personally like to have the seat where the little table rest is near the aisle. I found that I'm often hit/bumped/smacked with body parts and/or carry on when Y starts to board if I'm not seated in my preferred seat.
