Just got this in email.
Seems reasonable to me.
I highly, highly doubt the responses to this thread will echo that sentiment and I'd bet $3.42 that you knew that when you uttered the dreaded "r" word on FT.
I predict responses will be:
1.) This is why AA is in BK;
2.) I'm done and am switching to UA;
3.) I'm canceling my Citi card because of this;
4.) This is evidence that a merger with US is done;
5.) The MIA Flagship lounge must be closing permanently;
6.) AA hates SFO;
7.) AA is going to shut down AAdvantage and this is just the first step; or
8.) The sky is falling!! The sky is falling
#8 will mostly be claimed by people that joined the AAdvantage program in the last 24-36 months.
