Combo of Alaska and AA gave us everything we needed.
Oh, I hear you. As AA EXP for like 12 years now, this helped a lot as flying to Hawai'i and PNW are big for us, and crediting AS to AA was necessary. Was planning to remain EXP for the foreseeable future.
This changes that for us. While I can definitely see even more impact for someone like you in PDX, it changes our landscape as well to shooting for MVP 75K and falling back to AA Lifetime Plat. Not our ideal, but better than trying to do all of it on AA plus getting some sort of AS status.
