Thanks for the correction - it is 355 days. I did not mean to imply anything negative to QF, but the net effect is we are left with the dregs - and I doubt AA will upgrade its systems to deal with that until they get the presumed new IT system off the ground, which seems to be going as well as the 787.

BA , for example iiirc, members can also book awards at the same time prior to departure.

Perhaps it would be good if AA addressed the limitation in their systems that leaves them lagging 25 days behind on being able to do inventory
