Sharing on twitter with 1.6m followers of which many are bots is vastly different. On AA website you can see passport info, contact info, address in the US a bunch of other things, and if you were to call and make changes they would use the card on file. So I would argue it's a serious breach
I have to ask then why you would be communicating with AA about your itinerary in a public thread instead of DM. I think you bear some responsibility here as well. The Twitter agents are probably more used to dealing with individual matters like this in a DM.

I'm also surprised your real last name is in your Twitter handle, but to each his own I guess.
