As long was we can still get preferred seating, some semblance of redeemable miles on AA and lounge access. We do live in Seattle, so that helps. If this changes, we'll figure something else out.
Yeah - knew I hadn't seen you on the AA board in quite a while- now I know where you've gone
For us, we'll fly AA/BA/OW for flights that we can't get to with AS (just as always), but we'll credit to AS since there is really no reason to credit to AA. We don't need miles there, and will use existing LT status, so no value in crediting to AA. If we credit to AS, then we need to fly fewer flights (especially in F/P) for 75K status.
Cheers.
