Not as a rule for EXPs but several years ago the AUS AC agents proactively monitored my flights out of Austin and arranged a reroute due to a possible misconnect. They called me at work even before I was aware of the problem. The AAngel said "we take care of our members". Stuff like that really cements loyalty but I think those days are long gone. I maintain a few shreds of that loyalty but it's being sorely tested.
