Due to AA's killing off JFK intl. operations (for me, loss of n/s to ZRH) and only two n/s (sometimes 3) between JFK and LAS (vs DL's 5*), I've quit flying AA (in revenue flts.)
I did fly two itns, one through a Casino promo to LAS and one to use SWUs. I have 1579 EQD and 16896 EQM now. I've been EXP for 8 years and ended 2018 with 17181 EQD and 177,448 EQM, last year by May 1 I was midway to those totals.
I wonder how many other "loyal" flyers have/are defecting.
*one flt in each direction is Delta 1: 180 degree recline in FC.^
With that 2019 EQD seems like bye bye EXP for you barring major spend remainder of year...only you would know that though but off pace from your numbers provided.
So the airline doesn’t work for YOU. Oh well, life sux, find another airline that does. Pretty simple. Insert ‘x name of airline here’ and you end up in the same place no matter the airline for the most part just takes some time to realize it...
