You see them on everyone else, UAL/DAL/SWA. I've even seen them on Aeromexico, Suncountry and a few others. AA is probably spending that capital elsewhere for now.
Definitely not spending on the pilots!
And yes, scimitars are sexy

I hear they are designed with shear pins. When you drag one down the runway or over the top of a piece of ground equipment du jour, it cleanly snaps off.

150,000 LBS will shear anything clean off. The question is, how much does it cost to replace. LOL
