Waking up at 3 AM to check in isn’t really a thing either, as check in opens 24 hours prior. How many flights depart at 3 AM? (Edit: I’m guessing you’re referring to AA’s former 4 hour prior check in for non-revs, which has been gone for more than a decade).

Having seen UA’s PS prices and options, I do agree with you there.

You only retained your place on AA if you were rolled to the next flight on that exact city pair by a agent. If for example I was trying to get to STT and did not get on and decided to connect through SJU you go to the bottom. If I was flying CLT-JFK and did not make it and switched to LGA again you're on the bottom. If the agents did not roll the list you also went to the bottom.
One other thing about the UAL system. Each pass rider you have listed gets their own access password for listing and checking loads. That's a very handy feature verses Delta where you have to handle everything for them.

I don’t mind the changes personally, but that seems like a “reduction”
