On AA 26 (HNDLAX) and no sign of Casper anything. In fairness this plane left the US fairly early on 12/1. Will be interesting to see if they end up on my connection to DFW which is the NRT 772.

I can't even remember AA's padding for TPAC flights as I don't want to risk staying in Y for 15 hours (despite the good chance for LAX-HKG route for SWU to clear). Will have some TATL later and see how that goes. Is the bed the same for both TATL (specifically JFK - LHR/BCN) and TPAC (specifically LAX/EWR - HKG) (different AC but same Zodiac seat)?

Can AA just start acting like any legacy based outside of NA. 34" pitch for every Y seat, Curtains between cabins, proper domestic F with good meal service, legrest, 50" pitch and lounge access. I mean this would come at the expense of auto-upgrades, but who cares right?

What exactly is the relevance of your comment to the discussion we are having here solely about Casper bedding in F and J?

i actually think AA has the most generous domestic legroom when compared to UA, DL and AS. I’ve been on some UA and DL flights with 36-37” in F.

Euro Business is a coach seat with the middle blocked. And, increasingly limited service (see also British Airways). I think that's more realistic than what you're suggesting.

Not even always blocked. SAS fills 'em up 3x3 in Business, although to be fair they sell and market it as a peculiar SAS Plus (sort of business but not really). And bonus for us all: there were reports that they'd begin selling the privilege of blocking the middle seat!
