I can get a lot of these statistics mentioned below of the internet but first-hand experiences I think are much more informative.
How are things with AA in terms of flight loads? Are flights empty or full?
How are flights in terms of delays?
Finally and most importantly how is the service? I remember it being quite good, but the stock price is at a low which I think effects moral at most companies as the exec team is stressed.
Unless you're flying to Moline on a Sunday morning most if not all flights are chocked full and usually oversold.
Most flights are delayed
Service is hit or miss. I generally find the former HP west crews more friendly and service attentive but again even this can be a sweeping generalization.
You'll need $15K to qualify for an EXP now but seeing you do 200K a year EQM wise it's not an issue. You'll be seated up front assuming your spend is higher also.
