Wow that's a huge plus actually! Especially for us in OKC, nearly all of our flights are on E75s and CR7s. Damn, that is actually massive.

The way to get assistance at the AC has not changed and most agents are still great.
Miles still have value (note to AA: this is the reason I continue to stick around the last 5-10 years)

Preach! Everytime I say I'm ready to break up with AA I find some wild deal that keeps me hooked. 12K miles for a $400+ ticket will do that nowadays (ever since CX awards dried up lol)
Also DL and UA kiosks don't print paper boarding passes? Is that for real? What the heck - I ALWAYS have paper boarding passes with me, way quicker, much less fumbling, zero chance that my phone freezes up (or most likely one of my kids snatched it from me or something) - DL and UA kiosks don't even give the option to print BPs? Insane.

Totally agree with your top 3. AA is the largest legacy out of OKC so that definitely helps, and yup it's so easy to maintain at least AA PLT even though we fly a lot less than we used to. So as crappy as Isom has made this airline, it's still our best option ... for now.
