Do you even see any 5J now post notice last week? If they basically allow only 2 call them cheap rates to partners except at the last minute, I think then truly I will be out of the points game and will redeem what I have left since unless I want a divorce, having 2 and 1 F is not going to fly.
While I welcome anybody that exits the game, as it makes it easier for me, aren’t you being a bit dramatic? JFK has departures within 4 hrs of each other. LAX has three departures within 2 hours IIRC (one is AA). Book separate flights, then try to consolidate close in. If it doesn’t work, so what?
