It is not an official benefit and there's no guarantee it will happen. Sometimes it does but more often it does not IME.

As AA Gold you only get access to MCE for free at the OLCI window and then the legroom is 34-36". On the B6 A320s it is 34" today and will be 33" in the new config even without EML.
