I'll keep my >100k eqp/eqm business on AA simply because AA is a good airline. The lack of elite rewards is a big disappointment, but it's ridiculous to think that flocking to UA to achieve "over-entitled 1K" is the solution. That's just my $0.02, though.

We bash UA incessantly, then talk about switching to them when something on AA doesn't go completely our way (maybe not in this particular thread, but in general). What a crowd...
