You're in NYC, so you have the absolute best choices available among the shrinking number of airlines. The OP likely doesn't.
If you're based in DFW, though, AA is a pretty good airline to fly. Lots of frequencies, the home office near-by, a big maintenance base, etc.

I wouldn't ever consider switching from AA because it would make no sense. The situation gets dicier the farther away from a main hub you get...
