bennytma, this is not a bug. No results will ever be returned on an SSA-REC segment for AA because AA can't market flights that don't touch US soil at some point. If it can't see the flight, then the alert system can't create an alert.

As for the REC-MIA segment I was able to create a Flight Alert for U class for AA 980 on 11/12/09 without a problem

Please email more specific information about the date and class code you're trying to create the alert for to [email protected] for follow up.
