AA already put a low priority on
SAVER inventory; AAnytime awards were already always available, the same as how Delta (with dynamic awards) are "always available", but both at crazy prices.
We get the fun double whammy of still having YQ when flying BA, so now instead of 55k pts + $450, it might be 105k+$450, or 200k+$450, etc. etc. "At least" Skypesos come with $5.50 taxes/surcharges.
