Because there are no GREAT reasons to fly AA/OW.
It is just an airline. Some people prefer it for number of reasons. And it's their reasons. They probably don't apply to you. It is pointless to let you know. Because for every person that comes here to post their reasons of why they prefer AA, you will come back and refute them and rationalize your preference for Star Alliance. You are just whining that you are not part of *A due to US joining OW.
What I know is that really, the "best" alliance does not exist.
One chooses what is best for his particular scenario, travel patterns, priorities, etc.
If you ask ME, as an EXP I enjoyed the very efficient EXP desk, and the 8 SWUs, which always cleared for me.
I started using AA because they were the only ones that could get me to places then in South America.
Since I don't fly much anymore, nowadays I fly based on price . Differences with other airlines are really minimal.
