So, it sounds like this will be the norm for the 'new' American. And, as a PHX GA told me, when she sold a complimentary upgrade out from under me (had the new BP in my hand!), 'money comes first' which I suspect is Discount Dougie's mantra!
Despite all the whining amongst Delta DMs, FCM hasn't cut back on Delta's capacity utilization. I'm sure that hasn't gone unnoticed at AA.
