American Airlines Leadership Recognizes Widening Gap Between Itself and Delta
American Airlines leadership recognizes the gap isn't shrinking between itself and a chief rival in key financial metrics. On the company's third quarter earnings call last week, an analyst asked how the company can leverage the strong domestic economy. Operating income at American Airlines Group Inc.

I recently flew on Delta. The A320 was 26 years old and had 160 seats. American has 150 seats on their A320 fleet. American’s overall fleet is newer too. I can understand taking the IFE systems out of the narrow body fleet. Technology is constantly improving and trying to keep a giant fleet updated with the latest technology seems like an endless process. American certainly has some issues but Delta is far from perfect.
American's newer aircraft sure aren't on the OGG/LAX run. I had planned an around the World for us on miles, but I think using them any way possible might be a better idea :(
I show they are operating A321’s between LAX and OGG. The overwater A321 aircraft are pretty new.
I still have a lot of AA miles, but reduced flying with them because service went downhill. Lounges are packed, food abysmal form what they even offer (both in BOS, DFw), and planes dirty. People dress like slobs, no professionalism, just weak. They really do an overhaul, and I put that squarely on the leadership.
We've a bunch of Advantage Miles, but Alaska, Hawaiian and Southwest seen to provide a better experience between Hawaii and LA :(
Remember the Super Constellation First Class; not the plastic cubby holes of today !

They seem to think they are a luxury carrier while alienating most of the passengers who would traditionally fly them. Im' a case in point -- I had Executive Platinum status with them for well over 10 years and haven't paid for a single flight on them in the past year. I've been using up miles, and to be honest using as many of those as I can on OneWorld rather than AA.
