Clearly, if you are travelling business class it is a toss up. In economy, the break in a 13/14 hour flight is quite welcome, particularly when the alternative is to sit uninterrupted in a BA seat designed for people with no legs.

American airlines mystify me. Here is a nation that prides itself on customer service, comfort and insincere sliminess, but is apparently incapable of running an airline that doesn't make you feel like you're being transported to a death camp and giving you the impression that the cabin crew fiercely resent your presence on their aeroplane. It's bizarre.
I suppose you have a point. It is quite rare for BA to beat up their own customers, although their economy seat is not a million miles away from a slow form of torture.
I do accept their Premium Economy and Business class is quite good. THeir economy really is utterly awful though, with some of their fleet providing the worst legroom of all major airlines.
