I did not mean to include only elites - nor AAdvantage members.
There are plenty of general members who stick with one airline who have a lot of frequent flier miles and want to increase earnings - lots of members shooting for silver - lots of former elites - people who don't want miles expired, etc.
I'm actually kind of surprised anyone would not think the vast majority of the plane are not MileagePlus members.
