Same-day change fees are so low on my radar, I wouldn't have thought about it if this was an open-ended "Why is AA bad?" thread!

For me, I'll be giving Delta a chance because of the 737-MAX configuration and "Project Oasis", which like "Right to work" and "PATRIOT Act", is an ironically misleading nomenclature. I pick legacy airlines because they aren't LCCs! I wish AA would realize that they can be BETTER than the LCCs instead of matching them with tiny pitched seats and micro bathrooms. The grass might not be greener in reality but on paper, DL has IFE, more pitch, and at least has the decency to install power ports at every F seat. And not that I will buy BE but they at least includ the carry-on, knowing it will be gate checked 99% of the time.

So for me, AA can't get worse than their new domestic fleet cabins, even though their international J cabins and Flagship Lounges are a top notch hard product.
