This has been the case for years and argued to death on this forum so many times. But to your point, the strategy shift at AA has been so apparent that those same blogs began speculating AA would bring back seatback IFE on domestic NBs.
I highly doubt that’s ever going to happen, but if outspoken AA critics like Gary Leff were suggesting it, then there is some truth to the boat turning.
