Well, are things running like normal? You can believe whatever you want to believe. But airlines are acting a certain way due to this aforementioned pandemic. So until that stops, things won't go back to normal.
Again, no offense, but this is a tantrum about a really really small thing. American has much bigger fish to fry to avoid bankruptcy than prioritizing the AC for 20% of their usually scheduled flights.
Maybe cancel your AC membership if you dislike it so much?

UA and DL are doing at gate upgrades and serving only water. So, win some, lose some.

If CKs can handle the clubs being closed, you can too. They're doing it for good reason.
For once, don't be the frequent flier who thinks only of himself. It's a worn cliche.

Excuse me I'm sure there's far more PP than CKs so yes PPs are AA's bread and butter. And I certainly do not need lectures from you on a virus I'm not afraid of. What I'm afraid of is unemployment but let's not real facts get in the way.

Well, I'm a CK, and I want the clubs open. What on earth is your point?

You can move to UA or DL if their behavior lines up with your beliefs more.
This whole shutdown has brought out what people mean by "freedom". It means I should be free to do whatever I want and the world should comply with my definition.

'Me, me, me, me' You're the typical self-absorbed, clueless about the airline business, frequent flier.
LIke we've all said already: Don't like how AA is doing things, you're free to leave.

I’m also free to complain when I think things could be improved. Add me to the list of people who thinks it’s time for some of the clubs to open. I reject any premise that complaining means it’s about “me me me” as you are suggesting to others, and calling us names isn’t a particularly effective way to change our minds.

so why do you think the other airlines’ clubs are ok to open (not to mention numerous restaurants across the country)? Don’t they have the same risk (whatever that risk may be... I disagree with your use of statistical data but won’t stray even farther off topic by debating it in this thread and I agree it’s not negligible risk)?

You don't need a mask, you need a pacifier.
