Yeah AA started some limited dynamic pricing but if you don’t like it now you aren’t going to like it in the future. At least partner flights still have charts but that will likely go away. The system is designed to make it as hard as possible for flyers to get value out of their miles. 1 cpm is the maximum value they want to give but would love to give much less.
WN has the easiest earring and redemption model, closest to true revenue base I’ve seen.
