AA has had some interesting direct flights, things like Hawaii-Florida (various cities) and LAX-SXM (with 2 stops and not on the transcon list). But these flights rarely recur, I suspect AA adds the routing in response to some specific competitive situation and this doesn't last from year to year.
And they seldom are two-ways. For example, this year, FLL-SMF (2549 mi) BWI-SMF (2395 mi) and RNO-LGA (2404 mi) are on the single-plane list, but not the reverse. All are the length of most trips on the transcon city-pair schedule in the OWE rules, but RNO and SMF are not on the list. SJU-ANC would be nice and long, but you'd still be limited by the one-in-one-out rule on ANC.
