I originally had LAX/MIA/SDQ r/t booked for Jan 20 and 24 respectively.

I now have to change this and have noted the following:

There was but one seat left in FC LAX/MIA (763) on Jan 20

On my new revised schedule Feb 3, I note that there are 17 fc seats taken already and only 34 in Y again on the 763 leaving at 7.00am

Most of these are revenue pax unless upgrading with miles it seems so I guess AA is getting interest in PAx paying $798.00 LAX/MIA.

I think they have got me also.

I am now looking to rebook FC LAX/MIA and then travel Y MIA/ SDQ @$1128.00.(separate tix $798.00 + $330.00 $1416.00 FC to MIA and BC to SDQ. I'll save the $288.00 and go Y ex MIA. So AA now gets me to pay $1128 instead of $577.00 primarily out of fear that I won't get that sticker upgrade to FC to/from LAX.
