"AA got rid of the increased legroom" is not correct. They removed the increased legroom only on two aircraft types - A300's and something else that I can't remember. The vast majority of AA's aircraft still have the increased legroom. I thought this was a mistake when they did it on two aircraft types because some members of the public would get the story wrong and think they did it to every aircraft in their fleet.
