Irish Tiger, sorry your experience was so bad on us. Perhaps you should stick to Delta so that they can always cater to your desires while bumming a free ride. In the meantime, if you ever j/s on one of my flights, you can be sure I will do everything I can (within my F/O capabilities) to get you your first class seat.

Have used AA better than 50% of the time commuting over the last 5 yrs, on the whole, has been a very pleasent experience. I'm sure with
any carrier, when any of us have been commuting long enough, we have 'run into' the gate agent or crew member that is 'having a bad day'.
I would say more times than not while riding on AA, the CA (or the FA's) would 'mention' that if a First Class seat becomes available, they would move me up if they could. Regardless if it happens or not, the gesture is professional & appreciated.
In the end, I was just happy to get a ride to/from work.
