So this year I booked us on AA for our Florida trip because they had better times/routing. Because we prefer a little extra leg room, I upgraded our seats to their "main cabin extra" seats. WHAT A JOKE and a bad joke at that. I was aware USAirways sardined their passenger in bit to pay extra for seats that aren't any better than standard seats on another airline is ridiculouse. I'm 5'9 and felt crammed in for our 2 hour flight. I feel the pain of anyone taller.
We had taken USAirways out of consideration for flights long ago. I guess we'll have to take the combined USAirwyas/AA merged company off as well. I'm not sure why I expected it to be any different.
Honestly I find choosing the best carrier for us to be an ever changing carrousel of decisions. Currently SWA's has moved to the top followed by UAL and Delta, which has crept back up the ladder after being down at the bottom for a few years (changes in FF program more than service).
I don't mind paying for extra leg room. I just want extra leg room, not what use to be standard leg room. As the flight was packed (literally), I doubt losing my couple of seats of business 3 or 4 times a year will matter much to AA.
