Unlimited domestic upgrades for EXPs only -- actually, that sounds like a good way to retain most of the $120m* while providing a benefit to AA's most frequent flyers.

If true, congratulations AA.

* - if people remember, AA said they'd calculated it would cost them $120m/yr to institute free upgrades for elites a la NW/CO.

ETA: it's true. Definite congratulations. The bigger news is slashing the price of 500-mile upgrades to $25!
