What I am saying is that it is a bit of a raw deal for AA Gold flying BA when you consider the reciprocal benefits provided by AA when BA Bronze flies with them.
I am not trying to re-open the debate on benefits for Bronze on BA- I think
c-w-s gave stats on here recently and IIRC a fairly average domestic flight had fewer Bronze pax than GGL!
