Even tho this is over a year old, and others have posted, I need to get my .2 out.
First off, San Diego has been a money maker for AA ever since AA came to San Diego in the 50s, SAN was one of the Three airports to get Flagship service to JFK, starting with the DC-10. Your comment about knowing people is awesome, I know people from the days when AA was in Terminal 1, watched Term 2 being built, and watched AA move in with the new AC. The culture of AA has changed for the worse. But SAN has always been a money maker for AA, I'm sure AA wants to grow SNA. Well SAN get a flagship lounge, NO, well SNA, NO, the current lounge at SAN is nice, since AA does not connecting flights.
Regarding the people of SAN, you have those who are native, and those who think they are native's (they moved from the mid-west or the East Coast) I am a native of SAN, and we are laid back, but not lazy getting things done happens, but we don't live and breath work. I mean, when you have perfect weather 90% of the time, we rather be outside than in the office. I can pick on New Yorkers, as there are the typical pushing annoying types but won't go there.

I remember when there were was one terminal; then the "east" and "west" terminal and the former commuter terminal was a PSA hangar.

Agreed, I'm OC based so only had 1 AA flight out of SAN this year, and that Aspire lounge was packed and rough. It appears that Swissport, who manages Aspire will not have their lease renewed and AS will have the space as of 1/1/2024. If that holds out to be true, then there may be some relief as I'd expect PP gets dropped and AA/AS Lounge members will have exclusive access. Fingers crossed this is true.

AA has been a good companion to SAN. Of course, it sticks in my craw that AA has dropped SAN-JFK. I would also love to have some SAN-LAX service back (both DL and UA have re-introduced service).
