Additionally, despite all of the above listed easy ways to end up in F, its still packed with nonrevs. AA literally can't give F away at any reasonable price to paying customers.
Kind of a chicken or the egg question. It's no surprise people willing to pay F fares aren't willing to spend them on AA's product. Who knows if they could make decent money if they actually tried, but they certainly aren't interesting in trying so here we are...
