We gave up on AA long ago. Now I'm even more glad we did. Have been using SW and JB and I'm not happy with JB's new tier booking and will drop them if I find another way to SXM.

One of JB's tiers is with no checked luggage. There is no way to book two seats and pick one checked bag and one no checked bag. Diff. in price is $15. I called JB and was told I could book 2 seats no checked then when getting boarding pass request one checked bag for $20, If I wait until counter it will be $25.

Rep told me only way to do it is to make two separate bookings one with checked bag next one without---yeah, right, then find one dropped from system or worse one bumped or have seats changed because it won't look like a couple traveling together---no thanks! But at least it's only $15 or $20 some airlines charge more.
