This is what was published, everyone is confused.
Jumpseat Alert: American Airlines
On October 17, 2015, American Airlines will begin a complete reservation system change. The airline has issued an embargo on guest travel passes for five days: Friday, October 16 through Tuesday, October 20.
We strongly suggest that other airline pilots avoid jumpseat travel on American Airlines during those five days. That may not be possible for everyone, so we have issued proactive guidance to all American Airlines pilots.
We have requested that they look for other airline pilots in our terminals and to approach them and offer assistance. Also, we have asked them to check their flight’s standby list a few minutes before departure to ensure there are no other airline pilots attempting travel who have not been issued a seat. And most importantly, we have asked them to not leave a fellow professional aviator behind.
For those who must jumpseat travel on American Airlines during those five days, please ensure you have a listing made via myIDTravel in advance of your flight. Do not hesitate to reach out to any AA pilot in the terminal if you need help. We will do our best to get you on your flight.
Please let us know of any issues you encounter with jumpseat travel on American Airlines, good, bad, or otherwise at [email protected].

so, as you can see... j/s travel on AA is not BANNED, it's just discouraged if you can avoid it. If you can't avoid it, it's still available and we will make every effort to smooth it out for you, but be prepared for glitches.
hope this clears it up. lot of misinformation out there.
