Not a good move at all!
Actually, I think it's a fine move. You want to pay the bare minimum and still have all mileage and upgrade privileges? That seems the unreasonable part- and this from someone who looks for the cheapest ticket overseas and then upgrades. From what I've read, AA are still more liberal than other US majors.

Cheers.
