Out of interest is AA one of the US airlines we have heard about that has a significant number of Captains who cannot/will not/are not allowed (delete as appropriate) to circle? This might go some way to explaining the fixation with the tailwind runway. Weather appears to have been fine for circling minima based on #22. P51 in #224 suggests the weather was pretty much 'on' AA's circling minima I have still seen no comment on AA's tailwind limitation at this airfield, not even from the NTSB.
