The best thing AA could do is to take a row back out of its own A321s and re-pitch the remaining rows to 40" or 41" - cramming 4 extra seats that will rarely be occupied by paying F pax just degrades the experience. AS F was so much nicer than AA. (And I'm not even talking about how amazing VX F was back in the day)

Yah, announced back in October... It was rumored for a few weeks before that.

That is my understanding, as well. When they are reconfigured, they will match the A321ceo Kodiak configuration because of the door layout.
