In fact the image I have in my mind is of a person who flies so f***ing much that the last thing she concerns herself with is the minutiae that we care about. Of course this is all speculation on both of our parts, but I'm sticking with my image of this woman!
many of these (20-year exps) are traveling on business accounts and have all their travel booked through their corporate travel desk--so why should they be concerned with aa promos?
