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.
AA does not have a policy on this on their website. Furthermore, what happens if it's a first time flier and they do not know there is a policy in the back of American Way magazine stating this?
Furthermore, AA has no authority on the ground to dictate taking pictures of their ticket counters/gates.
