What you intend to do with the photos has no bearing, based on the policy they have posted. They may wish to redifne, expand or change with additional communications- but they are stuck with what they post.

And so are we. For example, they say you can take photos of personal events. But you cannot photograph "equipment".

You are IN THEIR EQUIPMENT!

Anyone ever ever ever see a picture from a plane that did not include something that was 'the plane'?

Their policy allows flight attendants to prevent any photos if they want.

And I am 100% sure AA is fully aware of this and wants this exactly the way it is.

PS As a pax I get annoyed when someone is doing more than taking 2-3 pictures.
As it clearly states in the wiki, written today, AA has NO PUBLISHED POLICY / absolutely nothing to say in public on this issue, accessible on aa.com. The language you are alluding to no longer is on aa.com.
