RIP to leaving home/the office an hour before your flight and still making it before boarding starts. I love flying out of DCA. And lucky your agency is still being flexible on travel. I got away with lower cost fares combined w/ date changes for personal travel allowing me to use AS (and on LAX/DCA, upgraded almost everytime) for a good year or so before they required us all to use contract carriers only, every single flight. At least AA counts toward earning on AS again, but I miss flying them (not that I'm flying anymore period for awhile anyhow though).
