How, exactly? No one has yet presented an example of an "exploit" that doesn't benefit AA in the end.
Did people "exploit it" when AA bought TW, when HP merged with US, when NW merged with DL, or CO merged with UA? In
all of those cases, the balances were combined, and I don't recall anyone having a problem with the result.
