I disagree. The 321T is 2-2 in business, where it is 1-2 or 2-1 on BA, providing the opportunity for a single seat. They're different markets, but food on BA and service more generally is superior in J compared to the AA 321T.

What makes the aircraft so bad in Y? The food offering is nothing to do with the aircraft (they are equipped for a full hot meal service) and the seat pitch is the same as the 777 with better entertainment.
I'd like to see a larger sub-fleet of CW/WT equipped A321s that can operate longer routes such as IST. BA's CE product simply isn't competitive against TK on that route and even less so when the 30" CE seats arrive.

Mint looks like a nice product. How long until JetBlue joins oneworld...?

Out of interest are MF new to the A321. It took a VERY long time to get the meal on the BA155 yesterday. Wash bags appeared only after I asked, and then was told they will be brought out after the meal (which was only an hour before we landed). Snacks appeared also only after being requested.

Having flown AY on A340s recently, the seat looks pretty similar. I liked the single seat but the foot well area was quite small, so not great for sleeping.
It has been a while since I flew on the A321, but as I am off to AMM later this month, I will be able to compare and contrast.
