I guess I will have to continue to evaluate this as I go forward.
how much DCIR are you doing a year? Can you maintain CX GO (60K status miles) whilst being AA EXP?

If i were to give some suggestions, i'd recommend you speaking with cathayboy and Short Hair Francis. They are the people that i can ring off my head that have made a strong decision for 1 over the other (CB with CX and SHF with AA(mainly). A few others here also have some stint on both airlines...
