I understand your points. Perhaps read my post above your post. There are some subtle and less subtle answers to some of your comments. And there is no need for you or anyone else to be stuck in a loop. We should all make the decisions that are best for us.

If waiting for AC to extend a waiver, or add destinations to a waiver don't work for current timeline needs, one still has to make a decision to either wait or make changes now to AC tickets and travel.
