I am indifferent at this point. I only buy FC now days and DL's pricing strategy typically keeps them in the running for limited runs from my BHM home. I status matched on AA to Exec Plat from DM and snagged their Citi Card. The extra non-stop options I get from AA have really made them more and more attractive prior to 9/14 and this just is the icing on the cake.

I'll miss the MQD for 2024 DM and will roll over about 500K MQM. I'll just keep snagging FC tickets when it makes sense and now just buy the most direct way to wherever I am going. I've been very happy after giving up chasing status.
