If you're traveling enough to earn GGL on AA you'd be pretty much guaranteed an upgrade to F domestically every single flight!

Otherwise your point does make sense to me that beyond the basic 3 tiers, some kind of revenue based system would make sense, ensuring that the customers delivering most revenue are best rewarded
