And CX certainly continues to release award inventory in such a way to maximize revenue sales, as they see fit. None of the latest changes (either the BA website or AA deval) has changed that. Let's not forget that CX still makes money off of these award bookings - on seats that almost certainly would have otherwise gone unoccupied.
