Interesting development. I’m both AA EP and AS 75K. I was considering letting my 75K status lapse after this year, as it’s becoming more difficult to fly them, particularly outside the west coast. Looks like I may not need AS status anymore, anyway, though!
This also makes AA’s expansion with additional flights to ANC and FAI for the summer all the more interesting — initially it seemed like increased competition to me, but perhaps it’s the start of more collaboration?
