American IS a ULCC, with high costs and higher ticket prices.
In other words, it's the same shiddy product that just COSTS MORE.

Now, if your point was that AA has “shiddy” management, or too many lazy, awful FAs, or disrespectful GAs (perhaps as a result of the aforementioned management)- absolutely true.

Maybe if I were…
…they wouldn’t treat me so shiddy? IN FIRST CLASS, as a Titanium Medallion, or whatever it’s called?
So your starstruck friend doesn’t mind getting paid so little and treated so poorly?

If you're hell bent on worrying about the experience for your passengers, go fly corporate.
Saying that “shiddy” GAs and FAs don’t matter is incredibly stupid.
EDIT: would you not speak up if an FA on your crew was mistreating a pax in front of you?

I wouldn’t choose an airline based on GAs or FAs, but I did actually consider all facets of the company when choosing where to go.
