Does anyone know if they are likely to grandfather in tickets pre-purchased before any changes (ie if I book 2-3 BA trips in their lowest buckets, and they change earnings, am I screwed after the fact)?

I fear the ba factor too. I have hedged my bets by booking zero ba flights... I doubt they will grandfather the ba flights... Ba themselves only grandfathered their own flights to baec, not aa flights...

If aa changes for 2016 then it will be time to burn the stash of miles I have and reminiss
