Yeah, I just got curious about the accrual difference and looked them up. I'd certainly be clocking in more miles on American more often than any Middle East carriers. So with RJ's weak accrual rate on partner airlines, it would probably take me just as long to reach their 55k as it would for me to hit 100k on AA.
According to what I've seen online, it seems that AA OWS wouldn't allow me any extra baggage pieces and/or weight.
So I can only get that perk with OW
E (regardless of airline)?
Since the extra baggage bit is one of main motivators for maintaining my status, this is disheartening.
