Doesn't AS use fingerprints? Does DL?

It would be nice to have to use for check in our lounge.
Dunno if others feel the same way.

"My Wallet" is not likely to suffer these kinds of malfunctions.

Not to be too greedy, but I'd also like
- to be able to see the fare calendar in the app and mobile versions of the website
- the three day lowest fare at the top of the page when booking should show the chosen class and not the absolute lowest fare in a different class

How about multicity searches now?

I've figured out a work around to this. It only works if you are MVPG or higher or +60 days out as it involves two changes. Just change the segment you want to upfare to a different flight altogether. Then change it back to your original flight but this time search for Gold upgrade-eligible (or whatever you are trying to get). Obviously you need to know beforehand that the class you are looking for is available. I do it this way all the time.

AA has the same. Also on AA the iOS wallet boarding passes are different colors based on elite status. Makes it really easy for the agents to see if it is your turn or not. I had a blue one (gasp!) when I booked an AS award ticket on AA metal. EXP is normally black.

I'll second votes for a mobile elite card, food information, and eliminating mixed itinerary searches. I'd also love to pre-order meals like AA does when there is a choice (although this is certainly not glitch free).
On the other hand, one place where AS excels is that you can search multi-city itinerary by the price and schedule chart. AA only gives you price or schedule but not both despite all their other search enhancements over the last few years. I booked a 2-stop trip as 3 one ways a while back because I could not price it out the way I needed to on the web, but then the middle segment canceled and they said they couldn't be flexible the way I wanted because it was the origin. Took me ages on the phone to work that one out.
