I disagree. They do provide compensation miles for service complaints.
Last month was on an Express flight (CRJ-7) and was #1 on the upgrade list. There was 1 open seat in first as boarding was being completed. Had the FA bring the GA on board and I requested the seat. GA refused to allow me to sit there, and plane went out with one seat empty.
I sent a complaint letter to AA just advising them of the incorrectly followed upgrade procedure, and they gave me 3000 miles.
