Eliminate complimentary upgrades.m. Um... That would be anti-competitive knowing Both Delta and United offer unlimited complimentary upgrades. American, however, is 500 miles voucher driven but complimentary.

Do people actually want complimentary upgrades to go away? I hope not. That is one of the perks that differentiate AS from WN and sought after by elite frequent flying members.

Alaska did play with the idea of eliminating F about a decade ago, however.

and AA merger? Am certainly hoping this will never happen. Aside from bigger network, do we actually want AS to go that low?
