Depending on where I'm flying, I agree. My status with AC is going to rapidly fall off, so I don't care as much who I fly. If YEG-YVR is $111 o/w in Basic Economy, and I'm flying with just a personal item that fits under the seat worst case, then I'm going Basic Economy. I no longer care about the miles and the change fee from Tango is more than my BE fare in this case. I might bite on it.
