    Compared to the comfort level today onboard coach class of U.S carriers, the F100 wasn't too bad. It served a role in American's fleet that worked for many years.

    They first landed in ALB to clear customs. When AM arrived it had so many writeups that Crandall ordered returned to Holland. After crew rest it was flown back the following day. The first snow storm here it was realized there was no slush correction published either. From a fleet service point of view these planes were a nightmare to work with tiny bellies. Then comes a weak APU which couldn’t cool the cabin properly. Thus it became the ‘dutch oven”! Then properly called the “Barbie jet”.

    I remember working on this plane when American went head on with Legend Airline out of Love field where due to Wright Amendment the airlines could not fly nonstop to any major airport with more than 50 seats. American converted this plane to 50 seats the whole plane was First Class we served Champane and Mimosa to whole cabin before takeoff, the whole cabin got hot towels, hot nuts, nice steak meal, ice cream sundaes, free liquor and vine, Due to high level of service we had four flight attendants for 50 passengers. With that kind of service Legend went belly up.

    God, I miss the Fokker 100s. Cozy and comfy aircraft. One of my earliest memories flying was on a American F-100, returning home from a vacation in San Diego (stopped over in O'Hare) - I remember, in spite of being both only 4 at the time, and damn tired, being carried out of the plane by my Mom, and it snowing as we walked down the airstairs and met up with our neighbor who took us home.

    Always been a big fan of A/A and as a passenger the F100 was just okay, and certainly not worthy of the moniker of 'Luxury Jet". The part of the video that showed a meal being served made me laugh - of all the times I flew on this type there wasn't anything that could even be called a snack served. Oh for the days of the great 727 and MD-80's!

      I think the name luxury jet was used because the previous planes used on the routes flown by the Fokker were propeller planes. Anything is luxurious compared to that.

      Maybe in the beginning, but in later years..., a hot breakfast (eggs) or cereal in main cabin from NYC to YYZ (1hr 35mins). I know, because I worked them. Oh, did I also mention only two FAs and one full working galley at front? A challenging beast to handle - but somehow we managed.

    When you look back on this now, it is sort of coming full circle, as some of American's predecessors flew Fokker airplanes during the 1920s and 1930s, while US Airways/America West also flew the F100 and F70.

      Might have to call up a boneyard if they still have some. If I recall correctly you may be able to get them on auction. Some of AA’s older 757s had the same seats and never received a retrofit so you may be able to snag them if you really do. They’re really comfy!
