Pre selected meal choice no longer available
Was just doing a check of my pre-selected meal choices for an upcoming flight, and noticed that my selected choice was gone, it looks like the "Beef short rib with pimento mac'n'cheese" is no longer offered, at least on the 3 flights I had it pre-selected on. No courtesy email from AA either (not that I'm surprised at all). It's a shame too, since that choice seemed to run out on the flights that it was offered on previously.

U thought AA would email you due to a change in meals?

Hasn't happened like that to me before, but I have had several times where the FA tells me that my pre-selected meal was not available once on board. (Then again, I rarely check after initial selection!) I guess at least you can select from the remaining or eat before boarding. The preselection USUALLY works, but it is far from foolproof.
