Flew DCA-HPN morning of Thanksgiving - everything was going great until they realized the door lock was broken. Took 2.5 hours to fix. Going for greAAt! 40 min flight took about 3 hours.

Flew PHX-LAX Wed mid-morning...airport was busy and A20 club was pretty packed (but doesn't take much there). Scored an upgrade to last seat in F as AS 75K right as boarding started.
Arrived LAX at T5 and waited for my ride for about an hour in the T5 AC at LAX--shockingly quiet.

Not me. Was scheduled to fly cdg-Mia-Dfw today but inbound was several hours late. The app gave me options to change —all for tomorrow 
I got on the horn and had AA put me on BA. Turns out I’m on a 781 with new CW and will get in three hours earlier.

CDG-LHR-MIA?
CDG-LHR-DFW?
CDG-LHR-MIA-DFW?
CDG-LIT (BA)-DFW?
Once they finish that new CW seat rollout (they're actually just as aggressive at getting it out there as American was at ripping out IFE), it will really even up the ante with AA's seats. The exception will be the hostel that is CW on the A380.

Flew IND-LGA as AA 41817 on 11/24 (ERJ-175). Flight had a pressurization issue that was resolved in flight, but we still diverted to CMH as a precaution (we had just crossed the OH/PA border when this happened). To the CMH team's great credit, a spare aircraft was available and we were out of CMH only 75 minutes after we landed. Remainder of the flight was uneventful.
Unfortunately, they were not communicative with us until after the door opened in CMH, after I had already protected us on a later scheduled CMH-LGA flight. We did not show for that flight (obviously), but the system must have recorded us as no-shows and cancelled my wife and son's return flight (I was continuing to Belgrade for a work trip), which was sold-out and no-one at AA was willing to put them back on to it. After several calls, I was able to get them re-routed HPN-DCA-IND for no additional cost, which meant a shorter drive to the airport and earlier arrival time back at IND. All-in-all, not too bad.
