In any case, I do agree with others that you probably don't have much recourse at this point. At some point the potential benefits no longer look worthwhile versus the time and money you'd have to invest to pursue them.
Hi again,

We prevailed on a breach of contract claim.

The treatment we received still rankles me. I doubt I'll fly American again. Lousy customer service.
