Let's compare SWUs and CR1s
SWUs: 6 at 100K/120EQS, 2 more every 50K/60EQS
CR1s: 2 at 75K/90EQS, 2 more every 25K/30EQS

See the comparison, I can say now earning SWUs are much easier than CR1s among most of us. They are even when reach 150K/180EQS.
I am afraid this is just the beginnng. They just use less impact CR1s to test our response, and the next target might be SWUs!!!

Could you imagine that might happen in the future:
SWUs: 2 at 100K/120EQS, 2 more every 50K/60EQS
CR1s: 2 at 75K/90EQS, 2 more every 25K/30EQS

I am glad AA still keep 8 eVIPs so the chance to change from UA would be slim but certainly not impossible.

Just my 2 cents.
