If you weren't living in an AS market and "just" using its mileage program primarily as a generous bank for miles, perhaps that going away isn't really a strategic problem for AS?
I also wonder how many of AS' truly loyal customers regularly run into the stop-over and regional limitations issues outlined in the blog post. Perhaps the FT community and the blogger aren't exactly the case AS should optimize for?
