Ah yes, AA's transcon pricing is a seesaw.
Over the summer fares were insane (like 800-1000 in Y each way). Loads predictably tanked. Then in mid Aug, AA started slashing fares down to $300 about 3 days before departure *and* started selling pretty cheap fares for Sep/Oct.
Looks like the seesaw rotated again, too many cheap seats sold in Oct, so raised fares to very high levels in Oct and now all of December.
