- I set a seat alert on EF and an F seat eventually opened up so I was able to select the seat, but still unable to check-in on the app (and the app said I was not checked-in, unlike what it said on web)
- Back on AA dot com—now with a seat assignment—I was able to get a mobile boarding pass emailed to me that I was able to add to my Apple Wallet.
- Even though I had a mobile boarding pass, the app kept saying I was not checked in.
- I was scared that I would be bumped from the flight for not actually being checked in, so I asked an agent in the AC to see what is going on. She typed for a good three minutes, shook her head about twice, and then printed me a paper boarding pass. Only after this did my app finally show that I was checked in.

What I would like to know:
- Was I actually checked in or not? What would have happened if I was not a proactive passenger with club access and got whatever fix those three minutes of typing did for my reservation?

Just another day flying the best airline in the world! The schedule is the product, I suppose.
