ALL BUSINESS, NO CLASS
</hdr><body>
<p>By Janice Castro/Reported by Wendy Cole
</p>
<p> American Airlines is proudly touting its plush new
coast-to-coast business-class service--complete with
extra-wide seats, free movies, restaurant-quality food and
drinks on the house. But watch out when you get there. The
supercarrier has been getting hammered in the busy California
corridor by scrappy (and consistently profitable) Southwest
Airlines. Now American is mulling plans to mimic some of
Southwest's cattle-car tactics in order to match its low fares:
open seating, no meals, no baggage transfers. Says an American
executive: "Value isn't quality; it's getting what you pay
for."
