Qualified SE a few days ago, after flying without my AE number on a few YYZ-LAS flights, to shove them into November so the upgrades don't expire in 2016.

Dumb AC #1.

Flying home today, DFW, on AA. Working on status for them. ZERO incentive to fly Air Canada after 100,000 miles. Like, why would we bother. Zero reward.

Dumb AC #2.

Most flights upcoming are not on AC, because, did I say, ZERO incentive given the next Threshold upgrade is stupid far away? I figure I've got an extra $10,000 spend to Dec31 that won't go to AC and will go elsewhere. (To be fair, some will go to AC)

Dumb AC #3

I wonder if Ben and Ben et al actually read this stuff, and realize how much disincentive they have built into the system.

Dumb and dumber.
