The real fear is the change in the AAdvantage program. Sadly, I strongly feel that status and upgrades based on miles flown is going to go away very soon. It was great while it lasted.

The bright side is that US flies to TLV. Who knows whether US will keep the route our not, though, assuming they buy AA.
