No specifics as to what, just that AAdvantage will be dumbed down significantly.
The last 33 years were fun while they lasted for me.
I think they'll likely introduce some sort of Elite Qualifying Dollar requirement (in line with UA and DL) to further cull the herd. That, and they are going to reorganise the tier benefits and/or add at least one tier (think Silver or Diamond). Good thing I went to TAAhiti on AA's dime this year instead of next.
Oh, and they will likely drop the second A in AAdvantage (about time).
