Anyway letting AA members rebook/reissue without cost to the member whilst penalising AM members doing so (or making things difficult for them - the partner cancellation vs reissue above) is an
Unequal Treaty if I ever need a modern-day example. Substitute opium for caviar and krug.
Yes, AA should treat their members worse on the fees charged on redeeming awards, something CX has
nothing to do with, the fee AA charges (or lack of same) would be identical if it was QF, BA or whatever... so you CX folks can feel better about how you're treated by your airline, who could easily decide to reduce fees if they wanted, and nobody at AA's management would care the slightest.
While we're at it, maybe CX could get rid of free food in coach and complimentary lounge access on shorthaul flights like AA has, too. I mean, it's SO UNEQUAL that you are treated that way when AA people have to suffer worse treatment.
Boy, you probably must HATE AS people. We get unlimited free changes to awards up to 2 months out, and if you are Gold (40,000 miles a year), unlimited changes until departure. I've used this to change CX awards. Plus I get a free stopover on a one-way. Wow, how completely unfair to you!
