My guess is that AA gets to deplete the number of (temporarily stagnant) upper status member (Plat Pro and EXP) upgrades and then be forced to purchase 500 mile upgrades.
Just another underhand way to get a few extra $'s from their most frequent flyers.
Sad.... Please rethink this policy or at least allow us to earn 500 upgrades for use later... I know, I know... this will cost AA a bit of extra revenue......
not sure I agree that it makes no sense.as the companion is taking a seat that would otherwise go to a high ranking elite. Makes the decision on the part of the higher status person not as automatic.
