This was such an unpleasant surprise. Even if the limit was bumped up to 55 or 60 lbs, it'd be so nice. So many times, my bag was 52lbs and I had to shift things around. When I mainly flew DL, it was nice never worrying about the weight.
Not to mention that if you're flying AA in F then connecting onto AS, you'd get that 70lb limit.
