That's the flight I'm taking this Spring. I was on that same AA flight last June, and the clowns lost my luggage for over 3  hours. Turned out it was in some closet right off the area where you're SUPPOSED to retrieve your luggage.
AA is going to hell in a handbasket since it went into bankruptsy. Major complaint is that the pilots are coming up with B.S. maintenance issues to screw up the on time flight percentage. Hmmmmmm, light bulb you say? I ain't sayin', I'm just sayin'
Good Luck
