Now, it's not "fair" to compare EXP earning on AA with statusless earning on AS, except, with the AS segment requirement, that's exactly the comparison that you might be having to make. My point is that the ease of getting status on AA might make up for the inferior earning charts (unless you can find a way to fly the AS segments and earn the status, in which case AS is the clear winner)
