If you had earned the miles by flying Cathay in paid J, I suppose there would be a greater sense of fairness.
There won't be as many as there are now, hence the desperation evident on the AA board. And, once AA renegotiates its credit card deal with Citi, there will be even less.
Yeah like me. You didn't read my post very carefully, I didn't say anything about earning AA Miles by flying British Airways. I did earned a lot of British airways miles that way though. What you're missing though is I use the past tense there. I fly Cathay quite frequently in business-class these days. In fact you can say I go out of my way to fly them, including enduring not so great connections in Hong Kong for flights from the west coast of the US to the Middle East. So I'm not so sure about your suggestion that somehow I'm not "entitled" to make redemptions with Cathay Pacific.
I'd also love to hear what you saw in your crystal ball about Citi, I really doubt that is going to happen.
