The fact that their is one program with a 45K award for TATL business does not mean that AA will benchmark based on that one, lowest cost data point. Again, you all can wish/hope for whatever you like, then come here and complain about it later when what they announce is, you know... not that. I'm just saying if people think AA is going to price PE @ 35K when standard economy is 30K, they are likely to be disappointed.

I think the discussion/rumor/speculation is simply that AA is going to announce premium economy award charts. I don't think anyone (certainly not me) is implying that all the sudden it's going to turn into the land of milk and honey with more award availability. Has anyone implied that? My assumption is that PE awards will likely be as scarce and hard to obtain as any other AA award, relatively speaking.
