I have flown a lot this year (especially longhaul), but a lot of that was award travel and most of my revenue travel continues to be on AS. Crediting AS flights go AA isn’t earning me as much as crediting them to AS as an MVP75k, but when combined with other sources of LP I reached Plat Exec this year while on AS I would have had trouble getting to mid tier status. And I would have had to spend more $$$ in revenue flights instead of using awards for some of my travel.

I am glad nothing major is changing for next year.
