I sure feel like a schmuck! I recently got an AmEx PRG with the idea that I'd primarily fly VX as well as WN since I'm sick of AA treating people like gAArbage.

I'll probably just keep flying VX and burn points as they come, then switch over to WN for domestic flights. The only reason AA gets any of my business is their Lat Am network, and even then LAN have pretty decent options.

I really enjoyed my first flight with VX and hope to enjoy the rest of them as well. Shame what's gonna happen but that's flying in America in 2016 for you: mediocrity for all, because even high-rollin' F pax still have to put up with the same airports, airframes, and delightful staff that we Y pax get.
