American appears to have eliminated Basic Economy fares

Example Market: The fares are still available but are listed in regular Economy. Anybody know whats going on in the cheap fare category? Cranky Flyer found this anomaly on LAX-PHX route.

Had no idea this news would create such a fuss among the masses!

Since I work for an airline, discussing fares is off limits with other airline employees... I still have a laminated card from American that says that.
