if someone is in the bottom 10%~ of a guillotine
I've flown just over 80,000 miles for vacations in the past 2 years and one thing that always strikes me is the massive difference in service/quality between (in order of quality) Asian/Middle Eastern, European and U.S. airlines. This would be easily explained if it was simply a price issue but I generally pay similar per mile prices flying from Europe to the U.S. on American carriers as on the others flying to Asia/the M-E.

Do American customers just have lower expectations or whats the deal here? Going from someone like Emirates or Quantas (or even Virgin or B.A.) to United or Delta is unnecessarily painful for long haul flights. Do any of you with extensive international travel experience have any insight into why American airlines are so low quality?
