American Airlines will make first class classier on some jets
American Airlines will tweak first class to add more leg space, extra in-seat power, and other amenities after passengers complained about the product on some retrofitted short-haul aircraft, but the carrier will keep economy as it is, the airline’s CFO Derek Kerr said Tuesday. “We are modifying certain things in the first class of that aircraft that, when we originally rolled it out, were not done properly,” Kerr said. American introduced what it called its ”Project Oasis” configuration in late 2017 when it received its first Boeing 737 Max aircraft, and then began rolling it out to other aircraft. In first class and economy class, American reduced legroom and removed personal televisions, arguing they cost too much and quickly would become obsolete. It also shrunk the size of some bathrooms. <br/>
