That would require me to put some actual, mature thought and consideration into the matter. A matter I, personally, consider to be very, very, very trivial, easily solvable and wasteful of resources of all parties involved.
AAdvantage is a very generous FF program, with lots of weak spots and lots of strong points. No one is forced to accumulate AAdv miles nor are they usable in every conceivable way we'd like them to be-- far from it.
I haven't the slightest doubt that your take on things has legal validity and weight. As a non-lawyer and a user of AAdvantage miles, I, personally, find the whole thing patently idiotic and just a total waste of time.
I'd like to see DOT dealing with other matters.
YMMV!
