Expect award availability to get much better if you can afford to spend it, partner redemptions to Europe are far more available post-deval with UA than they were pre-deval. The BA YQ remains an irritant though and partly undoes the lower AA cost

But, yeah, I hear ya. Will have to see if AAdv availability now changes at all as a result of the hikes though.
I can assure you partner availability will get better after the devaluation, as noted partner awards with UA are much more available now than they were before.
