I knew as I was typing that comment that someone would point out the factual incongruity!

The fact remains though that as a non-London based traveller, with a native airline that has taken a commercial decision to remove all international flights from the regions, the nett effect is to make shorthaul redemptions nearly twice as expensive for us poor souls "oop-North".
And given that the rest of the earn/burn changes seem to say "We'd rather like you to earn miles on expensive J/F tickets, but spend them on ET/WT (or CE, at a pinch) redemptions" removing the domestic connectors is just another subtle hint that if you don't live near LHR/LGW, they'd really rather not believe you exist!
...."London Airways" at it's best....
I've a strong suspicion that AA may well be seeing a lot of new EXPs based in the UK in the next year or so....
