I don't "pick" where I go. I just go where the fares are cheap. I already have HKG, CPT, & BKK planned for the next 4 months on Delta. I would like to find another $300 fare to AUA before the year's end, too. So if I make the switch to AA it will most likely be starting in January. I just wanted to know the cheapest and most efficient way to jump in headfirst with AA.
I guess my main question was: Do airlines ever put MR-type fares on sale from their own hubs?
The reason is that I hear so many people on this forum complaining that they are "hub-captive" and, for example, Delta always issues "attack fares" on AA/UA's hubs....

Well the one thing I don't like is that I could only get 10k of EQMs after spending $40k on the AA Citi card.
But then again....it would not take me very long to accumulate the additional 90k EQMs to get AA's top-tier status. And because 75% of my travel is international to very far-away places.....those EIGHT SWUs would come in pretty handy!!!
