No, its the same way with UAL and Delta, typically there's no room left in the overhead bin after you finally get a seat. Then you have to check it and pick it up at baggage claim. Alaska and maybe Frontier is the only 2, who will let you check it and they'll bring it up the jet bridge.

At JetBlue we will also give you a gate claim tag. The problem our guys have run into at AA vs UA or DL is that once the agents decide the bins are full, they often insist on checking the bag without asking the Captain if there are any storage options first.

Which on the bus there is plenty of room......unless they want to be tools.....but in all fairness to AA, I was doing a double commute on them and 100% of the crews were awesome, and I would say nearly 100% of the time the captain would always say let him know if I can't get my bag on board and he'll take care of it....

Agreed the crews are great. Gate agents not so much. I commute DFW-LGA. Stripped of roller board nearly 90% of time by the gate. I deliberately travel as light as possible- roller and a small electronic flight bag case; they still give me the stink eye when it comes to bags. If AA arrival at DFW goes to C gates, there's no employee shuttle to parking from there. So I have to wait 45 min at baggage claim, go back through security and get the air train to another terminal for an employee bus. Or, wait for a terminal to terminal bus, then get the employee shuttle. I get it. I commute. But a simple act of getting that bag on would save a ton of time.

Leave the rollaboard at your base and just commute with a small duffle. I just Bring laundry and my iPad home.
