As noted, VX didn't have a lifetime program and the forensic mileage accounting would have been a challenge.

It's a balancing act. VX flyers have been favored in some things, but not in this one. I think this decision was a toss-up. AS is very respectful of its MM program. My guess is they didn't want to rock that boat.
