My point was it doesn't matter how many open bins there are. You will be checking your bag on AA. They WILL also leave you behind when you've been at the gate for an hour and a half. This after the last agent for the flight before turned you away for running up 10 prior but the line is still halfway up the jetway.

Btw I'm always listed ahead of time.

Pilots are always great. Agents for AA hate junpseaters.
