Associated Press | The regional affiliate of American Airlines says it will set aside room on some of its planes for first-class seating beginning this summer.
American Eagle said Thursday it will offer nine first-class seats on its CRJ-700 jets, which are much smaller than most planes operated by big sister American Airlines. The jets will have 63 or 65 coach seats after the redesign.
Customers in first class will get complimentary meals on longer flights
or what Eagle describes as a gourmet snack mix on shorter hops. The
airline promises seats with ergonomically designed cushions and
speedier baggage service.
Eagle will offer the service from hubs in Chicago and Dallas-Fort Worth beginning in July.
Wonderful! Now my legs will be even MORE squashed in Coach on one of these planes! American runs their airline like the government handles money.
That’s a silk purse out of a sow’s ear!
Gee first class!Does that mean first class passengers get to heaven a nanosecond ahead of coach passengers in the event an inexperienced Eagle Airlines flight crew puts the plane into the ground?
you have got to be kidding! they will have room on those for what 4 first class seats? the aircraft they will be using are just a bit smaller than the fokker aircraft that aa got rid of a few years ago, and those had 8 first class which was still cattle car seating because of size..i guess the pilots union had reason to worry a few years ago abou eagle taking aa domestic routes from the larger aa aircraft..of course now amar is oursourcing eagle and making ord an eagle rather than aa hub….and so it goes…

Considering the fact that there are many personal blogs with distinct points of view, they challenge your thinking. It really is at these occasions when you have fantastic insignt other people might not have had, especially the blogger her/himself.
