Indeed. Filled it out as plane was taxiing to gate (instead of enjoying the nice Hawaii scenery which I would have much preferred). When the door opened, they made an announcement that there would be someone checking at the terminal exit for proof that it had been completed (which turned out was not the case at all).
I suspect there were some gate announcements since I heard some chattering from AA gate lice about QR codes as I was boarding, but my total time in the gate area was no more than a minute or so, and I didn't hear any announcements from AA staff during that time.
They should have made an announcement on the plane during boarding, and/or perhaps even send an email beforehand with a link to the form.
