Interesting times. One would think the elimination of change fees will require a reworking of the Airpass value proposition, as both the Y-up and discounted advanced bookings will be more susceptible to cannibalization in the form of published fare purchases. I know many companies will only allow Airpass travel when it's a better deal than published fare (which may also benefit from negotiated corporate discounts).

All, in all, perhaps a rethinking of the cost and/or prepayment terms will help bolster the Airpass program (and AA's finances), particularly if companies are increasingly seeking to exit or pass on renewing contracts .
