As someone who travels a lot (like most of you) and books their own schedule (never have an never will allow a admin or anyone else to book for me) this is a GREAT improvement. AA website has been my favorite for a few years now, but this is just new enhancements that are meant to allow the customer to choose their experience depending on what is important to them. GENIUS revenue model, and I think its gonna work.
Hats off to the boys in AA management as this is a smart way to give the customer options beyond options.
