In the meantime, he'll be earning a gold mine of miles, but still won't be able to CPU on his BOS trips.

It's a tough one, but I'm sticking with CX/AS in this scenario.
with the amount of PQMs he’ll be getting, he’ll earn a ton of RPUs. And SFO-BOS is an easy upgrade (for now)

AS is also devaluing their FFP right now. Take a look at the AS board.

By all means, try out AS. SFO doesn’t need another GS. But if your travel patterns here are as you say they are, GS>>>>>>>>>>>AS MVP 75
