Flew out of DCA to LAX this morning. When CK was called - about 8 people boarded. Although I would say at most 4 appeared to be CK - others Military.
But not one of the CKs were in F, and there were 20 F seats.. We were in paid F and there were no upgrades. F was full a week before - so no upgrades.

Hence what is the point of CK - if these people are flying coach, and regular people are buying F.

AA gives away CK and EXP status to corporate flyers. Hence with all the changes to LP, what is AA doing about corporate give aways?
