Definitely agree with jrhone's value and credibility. Is there any doubt?

But I concur that it would be interesting to know how an AA-savvy EXP who rebooked quickly could end up 24th on the list. Not saying that there are not reasons, but it would be instructive to all of us to find out how something like this happens. We've never been more and like 3 or 4 on any list (upgrade or standby), so this is an interesting (disturbing) event.

Cheers.
