But the worst coach seat out there now is a problem. Take away the seat back TV from many existing American Airlines aircraft, shrink the lavatory, and reduce the room offered even in Main Cabin Extra and first class and you have an across-the-board reduction in customer value. Telling passengers that they should get a new job if they can't pay American Airlines more money seems strange when the passenger can keep their current job and fly the largest domestic passenger airline instead.

Roughly you should divide that number in half. Aircraft manufacturers try to keep secret actual purchase prices, because they don't want to broadcast to all potential buyers how much of a discount they'll really give. Plus big numbers make for great press releases. At the same time it's hardly a secret that no one pays list.

Customers say they want a better product but whenever given the choice they choose the cheaper price.
