There is one thing that I learned here: the FT is very EXP heavy
So much that I think this poll might not be very representative of the general AA public.
Not true. The general AA public knows all about things like DBEQM and they're all going to be EXP next year because of it (latest press release from AA says that, after this promotion, they expect 6 non-status members, 4 GLD, 12 PLT and everyone else in the entire AAdvantage program will be EXP, and competing for our upgrades). And this is consistent with what a number of the folks on FT believe,anyway.
Cheers.
