Indeed, the interior of the aircraft as a whole I would describe as "beat up". I had thought that those were used only for shorter flights rather than transcons.

There were times in the past year that I got stuck on an American ( USAIR ) metal and their beat up, remember they used old America West planes which were also beat.

To add insult to injury, looks as though that domestic power-less segment of an international itinerary isn't going to post (the international flight the same day posted promptly) -- will AS insist on a copy of the boarding pass (which I have), or should the flight and date be good enough?

On AA you probably just need to send the form. Naturally, you'll want to keep the BP until you get credit, just in case. No system is perfect.

What Ive always wondered is why dont a lot of airlines change the tail numbers of merged planes? Or is that just way too much hassle and paperwork?

Beat up before the merger was announced and Im sure once it was all set that there was hardly any money put into keeping cosmetic features repaired and updated since they will be slowly re doing it all into AA schemes.

So, take your snowmachine across Lake Louise, go through the channel to the other end of Lake Susitna and check on my cabin. Had you told me you were going, we could have had a party there.
