The last time I flew American the large planes were beyond shabby. The regional jets were in decent shape but the 757 I was on was horrible. The toilet seats in 2 (maybe more, I only visited 2) bathrooms were not attached to the base. I prayed we didn't hit turbulence and end up sliding around the bathroom making a mess. Seat back pockets were frayed and hanging on by a thread and everything was tired.
The overhead tv's forcthe safety movie was broken and the attendants were flustered having to do it themselves.
I avoid American I have better luck with united.
