I recently flew AA MIA-SDQ-MIA on an overnight trip to Santo Domingo and had the same crew going as coming back. I was in First on both segments and the flight attendant was about the best I've ever had on any US airline, AA or otherwise. On a relatively short-haul flight, she managed to memorize everyone's name and used the names every time she addressed us, constantly walked around the cabin topping off drinks and was just really great. I ran into her at the departure lounge the following morning and she remembered my name and greeted me very warmly....I was impressed. At any rate, I sent AA an e-mail about her but was wondering whether this type of stuff gets read or just gets thrown into someone's inbox to sit there forever. When I was with UA and written letters were common than e-mails, I did get a few which had been sent in to my manager so I'm wondering whether I should use snail mail instead.

At my company it would be a yes, and I'd imagine AA would do the same. Forward it to her and her supervisor (perhaps the in-flight administrator at her base).

The E-mail is good, but to be sure, send it via regular mail. I once had a similar experience with a CO f/a and I wrote to CO about her. I got a letter in the mail about two weeks later from CO management telling me they had shared my letter with the f/a and that it had been put in her file.
In my company, these types of letters were great at year end bonus time.

It will get read, although it may not be for a while. Complaints get priority. They'll then forward the compliment to her inflight supervisor and the letter may be added to her personnel file.
