Everyone in the lounge for gate C27 knew that our flight was going to be delayed, an no oned seem to have a problem with it, which was wonderful cause the ladies that handled our flight were able to do a supberb job on trying to get us out as soon as possible. We usually recieved an update of some kind about every 3-5 minutes notifying us of the situation. Boarding was simple, quick and we were able to leave the gate right on our delayed scheduled time.
Once we cleared the terminals we waited in line for runway 17R, we were about number 10 in line. Eastbound departures were slow, with the ARTCC employing "Entail" spacing, which is one aircraft for every 20 miles for spacing around thunderstorms that were due east. We began our takeoff roll at around 1515, after about a 20 minute wait.

Video of the departure:
The flight and flight crew were absolutley wonderful and were extremely pleasant to fly with. The were attenttive, and very kind with everyone. For the most part we only had a few bumps along the way. The older seats however were not bad, and were very comfortable and provided a lot of cushion, with legroom not being a problem. A nice smooth landing on runway 22L with some nice braking action was a great way to end the flight.
Overall, American did a fantastic job on this trip, and given the circumstances, I would give them an 8.5/10 on this trip.
