Maybe things are just wonky right now....or the AA systems caught COVID. Who knows.
AA's systems were wonky well before COVID. In fact they seem to have improved since COVID.
I do have one interesting question on what I've seen. On the gate standby board I see paxs clearing with a seat assignment in F. More than enough that I would think it wasn't confirmed (purchased) F paxs. As I recall if you wanted to standby for an earlier flight but be upgraded into the premium cabin you had to the first clear standby and then have a GA that would subsequently add you to the upgrade list. So possibly now if there's open F seats and all upgrades have cleared you can be confirmed right into F without the addition step(?)
