Do you also worry about getting hit by a bus or being struck by lightning when you wake up in the morning?

As for your blaming current AA management for the "situation right now", it was a prior management that mistakenly thought they could negotiate with the unions instead of filing for BK when others did. I see no evidence that current management does not understand the value of the AAdvantage program and EXPs. Poaching 1Ks from a competitor in disarray is a brilliant strategy, especially since said competitor can't do anything to stop it.
