I fully realize that AA reserves the right to adjust EQM/RDM earnings at anytime. Nonetheless, I think that changing earning on existing fare buckets (even if you grandfather already purchase tickets) in the middle of the year would be a crappy thing to do.
Doesn't mean they can't/won't do it though.
