do we think that this is the last word on this?

or will we hear next week that miles transferred in from aviators won't count towards aadvantage lifetime gold or platinum qualification?

or the week after that, that any aviators points deemed to have come from amex since the merger announcement won't be transferred at all?

otherwise, it's open season on amex to aviators to aadvantage transfers - which will add up to at least a billion points once the usa today and wsj reporters catch on to this, right?

i mean, can aa really afford to let this happen?
