If going to LHR on One World: BA F over AA F any and everyday.....unless you are contract bound, or are chasing/renewing CK...
AA F isn't even the cheapest on some flights to LHR....
BA F is staying for a reason, while AA F sunsets into history......tells you about management's vision and planning....

They have the same "customer doesn't notice" philosophy in coach. However, the cost is low so people don't gripe as much.

Some good, some not
The oddest thing I have seen consistently is that nobody comes through to collect trash. Your menus, plastic wrap from bedding, anything, just sits there, even before landing. Just walk out of the plane and the trash is still sitting there. This was on 6+ flights I took recently. Maybe it was true before but I didn't notice it.

the business section is but you need to be OWE for the F part.
I actually prefer the J lounge in many ways. The noodle bar is there (ok, you have to go to collect your food instead of table service) but it feels more spacious plus the bar is there. Dont get me wrong, the F section is great but the T5 CCR is better.
