WILL SWAP PLACES WITHIN THE DOMESTIC /US 50
/CANADA/ FARECLASS HIERARCHY.

comment,
it is interesting to note that AA may be taking it on the chin with their oneworld agreement and all those Citicard certs (now making a low fare eligible) out there as well as the elite qualifying structure (Q class gets 100 percent domestically) in 2004.
But as we all know, T and C can change anytime.
second, what does it mean when oneworld realligns their fares? Is it to make sure each member is on board with fare combinablility/miles/elite status points etc?
