If AA changes SWU's to upgrade from coach to PE instead of coach to Biz, this will be a significant devaluation of EXP benefits. Don't give them any ideas, please.

A promising program? AA? You're joking right? A SWU for PE? Why? It's not like it's free to get CK/EXP status. SWU should be for J/F upgrades like always. Requiring one for PE would be a major deval.

Why devalue such a promising program right from the start? Just allow SWU and miles upgrade from all coach fares into PE but offering a premium cabin for free or for trinkets? That's a disgrace.
