Of course not, but I'm pretty near certain almost 5% of AA revenues (around $1 billion a year) come from frequent flyer miles. Do you think BA is magically different because it's got the British flag on the back? How much of BA's revenue comes from the US? Where do you think Chase is getting these miles? Chase is not doing this magically on it's own - it's with the support of BA, and why do you imagine that might be?
