I am not in error. There are multiple 772 flights on MIA-LAX (some times, but rarely, as many as three daily). One of them changes a lot, the other has not changed since 2006 with one exception for seven weeks one summer when the plane operated an MIA-EZE daylight. This plane is purposely scheduled as a back-up for the Shanghai/Narita departures, hence why the schedule never changes. It usually does an LAX-MIA-LAX turn, but sometimes goes onto/arrives from Shanghai and/or Tokyo.
You are perfectly justified in being upset at AA if they refuse to move you to a 3-class flight. You shouldn't have trouble being accommodated, and if an agent gives you trouble, try again.
