Very true....as I said in another thread revenue-based frequent flyer programs (like Jet Blue) are a total non-starter for me so I don't care where they fly--I'm not going to pay more for me fare just to the get the same EQM/RDM I would get at the cheapest fare on AS....non gonna happen. I also rack up quite a few "extra" miles by not taking the fastest way between point A and point B so being able to go LAX-EWR instead of LAX-SEA-EWR actually means I'm getting LESS EQM/RDM with every trip...also not gonna happen.
