How can you prove that your account is under "heavy Scrutiny"? If I'm flying over 100,000 miles a year and spending around 30K in airfare, what are they going to do to me if I miss a ton of last legs on a trip??
I doubt that anyone at AA will think twice. Most of the time they will accommodate some of the stand-by passengers that are awaiting my seat.
