BTW we flew on AA in business and the service was very disappointing.

I've flown AA plenty in TATL business. The service is generally good, though DFW crews can be a low point.

As noted, AA stupidly stopped through checking even on partners, with the exception of 001 tickets. It is absurd, especially given their issues with properly allocating award space.
