I fell in line and matched to AS MVPG75k. Much better earning and only 50k for a oneway CX J award with good availability. And, the first time I took an AS flight (SFO-MCO nonstop vs AA's one-stop,) the UPG cleared 5 days out, and the seats in FC are much better than any narrow- body, excluding the 321T, AA plane. Also, the food was better quality and taste.

Looks to me like AA already has dynamic award pricing as the anytime awards vary greatly from 2x milesaver as I see many dates at up to 80k even domestic flights.
