AA does have a VIP level, just like most airlines do. It's all very hush-hush though. If you have to ask about what benefits it brings, however, that is a sure sign that you do not qualify for it.

A newspaper article last year claimed that on AA you can qualify for VIP status a number of different ways, but one of them is flying over 300,000 miles/year. One major new benefit mentioned was being greeted and escorted on all connections (a benefit normally only available on international first class service).
