There have been scattered reports of people being shut down if they booked travel for people who were shut down, so you might want to be careful about using the wife's account for the time being unless she knows what's going on and doesn't care about possibly losing her AA account.
Right. I think the first ticket would have to be cancelled before the second reservation is made. I know that if I "hold" an AA reservation, but want to extend the ticketing deadline by rebooking, I need to cancel the first reservation before doing so.
As far as the wife booking the reservation goes, she's actually the other pax on the reservation (2 people travelling). I don't think her account is that valuable if she can never bring her husband with her on vacation. Or maybe it is.
But in any event, while a ticket is pending at AA.com, can you still cancel it by hitting the "cancel trip" button?
