I actually like the WN leather seats better than AA's seats, but there is about 1 inch less pitch. I actually like not having seating assignments. I just check-in online (which many of us do) and get an A boarding card, then get whatever seat I want, plus the plane turns quickly. Also, I prefer a brand new WN 73G to a 20 year old AA MD-80 In a message dated 10/4/2004 10:25:19 AM Central Daylight Time, clay.wardlow@xxxxxxxx writes: Also, if I were flying on a shorter trip, I might take WN out of DFW to MCI for example, however flying back home (SEA) after visiting my parents in the DFW area, I'd MUCH rather fly AA. Nicer planes, better seats, seat assignments.=
