In this example , 15,894 more earned on AA. This could be an incentive to fly AA
What AA seems not interested in doing is providing incentives where the rewards given exceed the value of the purchase
Assuming to pay 5.5k for a J ticket is a heavy assumption.
And your also ignoring the savings and higher quality of CX J there.
that's some HEAVY assuming
