How important are mileage redemptions to her? There's a reason why they are called "Sky Pesos." If you have not done so recently, do a few dummy award searches on aa.com and delta.com, and see for yourself.

At the LAX Wikipedia entry, one can compare and contrast the nonstop destinations offered by AA, AS, and DL ex-LAX:
