<redacted> it seems the DOT and the ACCESS Advisory Committee has to an agreement on bathroom standards for single aisle aircraft with more than 125 seats. <redacted> the ground based standard for a doorway is 32 inches, so I would expect some new rule where at least one bathroom door has to be at least 32 inches wide.

Hint: it's pretty hard for an aircraft to be held responsible for certification to a potential future rule which doesn't exist now and might possibly exist at some unspecified time in the future.
In the meantime it's a pretty safe bet that, given the extensive regulatory and certification process that commercial airlines are subject to in the US, AA isn't flying around with illegal lavs.
