And Terminal C was a gong show security line when I was there a couple weeks ago at night. No Clear = you were screwed.
I use LGA with AA about every other week but always in Terminal B. That dinky little precheck queue for D gates in term B. Had my first shuttle route in forever a few days ago in terminal C and was amazed to see:
1) Clear was still a thing
2) Clear cut the massive precheck line
Others upthread have talked about these shuttle routes being really fragile, with business travelers choosing one airline over another due to a 30 min arrival difference. Everything about AA Shuttle in Terminal C was to try to remove the awfulness of LGA. This is no good for shuttles and no good for AA, period.
