American Budget Cuts
According to today's Dallas Morning News, AA is again considering doing away
with "More Room in Coach" - they are also making other changes in order to save money, like consolidating overnight maintenance in out-stations on similar aircraft types (i.e., all MD80's in one city rather than a mix of types). I sure hope they keep the more room but its looking less and less likely :-( Jeff |

As soon as the load factors picked back up (which they have now, even with 9/11) there's no way the bean counters would approve additional flights when cramming more seats in is effectively "free." From my experience with their 757s, it will take them YEARS to convert all the planes back to usual spacing. |
