George Hobica http://www.huffingtonpost.com/george-hobica/ <p>For years now, profitable foreign-based airlines have offered newer, more luxurious aircraft than their poorer U.S.-based competitors. British Airways has had sophisticated entertainment systems in all classes and lie flat seats in their premium cabins for years now. But if you flew on American, Delta, or United, it was probably in an aging 757 or 767, maybe with one of those 1980's-era T.V. monitors hanging from the ceiling. Lie flat seats? Good luck.</p><p>But finally, the remaining legacy U.S. airlines are stepping up their game to compete with foreign-based carriers. And it can't come too soon. We have suffered long enough with those embarrassing, elderly planes. Now that they've merged and capacity-cut they're buying new planes, refurbishing older models from top to bottom, and adding amenities that used to be found only on British Airways, Singapore, Cathay Pacific, Lufthansa and other aviation icons.<br /> <br /><br><a href=http://www.huffingtonpost.com/george-hobica/new-american-airlines-pla_b_3299242.html>Read More...</a><br> <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/tag/airlines/">More on Airlines</a> <div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.huffingtonpost.com/~ff/huffingtonpost/TheBlog?a=9a2KZ2Tca4U:pqYXfhpZEr8:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/huffingtonpost/TheBlog?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/huffingtonpost/TheBlog/~4/9a2KZ2Tca4U" height="1" width="1"/> tag:www.huffingtonpost.com,2013:/theblog//3.3299209 2013-05-18T18:01:22Z 2013-05-18T18:24:16Z
