I don't have any urgent obligations and don't have to fly business, but I haven't seen prices this bad ever. I can't imagine there's that many paying those kind of prices for legacy American airline business, class or at least they aren't sane people.

Edit: Just wanted to add they also have mileage redemptions for 383K miles or Flagship first on the 77Ws for 686K one way if you want to burn all your miles...
