That way I can start 2010 with DL PM (then DM at launch) and AA PLT then decide if I should go for AA EXP. I don't always use full fare coach and while it means losing the upgrades I have already received on DL, 2 RT in coach on AA isn't bad to give me future flexability.
Thanks.
Same here, great idea. Not quite what DL intended, but rollover miles really make it easy to test the waters at AA. I think I'll pile on the DL miles for the rest of this year to roll at least 100k towards 2011 status. Then I'll start flying AA in Jan 2010, hit EXP by mid year and see if it's really as great as people say. If not I'll come back to DL and easily reach DM thanks to the rollovers. ^^
