Customers don't know how old the aircraft is just as long as the interior is kept up. However the increase in premium seats is what we really need on that route. I refer you to the first post again and see how we are absolutely killed due to our lack of premium. You can put a thousand more gates in DFW and it won't make up that ground. We need to start doing something other then growing DFW or CLT.

I fly the T models a lot and the premium seat interiors are in horrific condition

I noticed the interior on the t and the older 319 and 320 are an awful shape. I'm guessing that's because the t is supposed to be reconfigured when the XLRs come and so they don't want to invest in new interiors?
Same thing goes for the 19 and 20 supposed to put the fancy interior from the regular 321 with a big overhead bins right? No reason to fix them if they're starting that this fall? Unless I'm mistaken.

Just because a seat goes flat doesn't make it "premium." Not when you're stuck with a crabby flight attendant who only appears twice—once to dump a pre-plated, pre-tray of slop, and again to snatch it away. Add a dirty seat, cabins and lavs so cramped you need to be a contortionist just to pee, and those ancient 360p screens, and suddenly that lie-flat seat means nothing.



The current 777 interiors are over a decade old, and the A321Ts are even older. Notably, both fleets were only upgraded under Tom Horton's tenure; during his time, "DUI Duggie" merely oversaw the replacement of seat covers and carpet on the old Airbuses.

I've deadheaded plenty on our 321T's, both in first and business. I have no idea what you're talking about.

He’s just that type of guy no worries. Anything AA is bad, period.

Of course AA doesn't have any 35 yr old 777's. First deliveries were in either 1998 or 1999. The first 321T is 11.5 years old.

Go check on the ages of the 757's and 767's DL and UA are flying.

Fleet age averages +/- - AA - 12.5, DL - 15, UA - 16.5

I have to agree. As I was reading his comments I was thinking, this guy is full of $h1t. When I've flown on these airplanes - in Premium - I've been comfortable, been well attended to by the FA's, and used my own iPad for entertainment. And the lie-flat seat is a huge bonus over anything that only reclines partially.

So yea, the rantings of someone who clearly hates AA.

You don’t understand, AA is the wooooorst airline in the industry. No matter what we do, this place is sh*t. :rolleyes:

I think this isn’t MinimumEffort’s first handle on this forum. He/she/it seems to come and go in waves.
