I guess maybe what bothered me the most was that nobody at CO seemed to care. There were no apologies, except for a headset that was useless due to my broken seat.
Oh well. I'm cheap enough that if there is a huge price differential again I'll probably fly them. But whereas my old cutoff was around $50 (as in I'll pay an extra $50 to fly AA), I think my new cutoff for CO is $100 (as in I'll pay an extra $100 to not fly CO).
Stuff happens, but the things you mentioned are minor to the things AA did to make me leave. Good luck on their non IFE MD80s. IAH is better than flying through DFW or ORD. The seats are more comfortable, but you have a better chance of the mad dog going mechanical. TEHO but I feel the compensation for the one time CO traveler is pretty good considering. The best AA would do is offer miles to a non elite.
