No, they don't. Not even close. Look at what you can do with United (change routings, change number of stops,change days (move it up early or later a day), and have it tied to actual fare buckets that you can check, not a fare that only exists for changing at AA.


It's one of the main reasons (along with EQDs) I left AA to go back to UA.

Then why don't they get rid of non-rev travel? They'd much rather let non-revs waitlist for F and J then move up paying customers and free up space in the back for those NRSA.
