My guess is that different people are doing and expecting different things within their experience. As in, there are people that book a ticket, check-in, go to the airport, maybe check a bag or two, fly out, then fly back and all goes reasonably well.

Then, someone else books a flight with some miles from Air Zambia on a credit voucher through a third-party reward, tries to redeem the remaining miles from their ex-wife's AA account while redeeming a companion pass, then expects to get one party in their group upgraded while sitting separately from the rest on the last flight out during a snowstorm.... and pisses and moans that they don't get their butt kissed and a chocolate bar on their seat.

Yes, AS has some IT annoyances but come on people..... keep your expectations realistic.
