In post 3 there several AA vs BA and AA vs xx threads started by potential AA refugees
When BA recently announced change there were BA vs xx threads by potential BA refugees.

Like majority of ffp's are doing, benefits are reducing and costs are going up.
The halcyon days of frequent flyer programs a decade ago are gone: just accept reality.

The grass in not always greener on the other side

USA based airline ffp's tend to be more generous (status benefits/earn/burn/upgrades/award cost/award cash surcharges/expiry) compared to non USA based airline ffp’s (even after the recently announced changes to some USA ffp’s)
