I think the only real surprise here is the lack of incentives for further CC spend past $28k MQDs, especially on the personal card. At least over on the Business card, there's 1.5 RDMs/dollar, but there's no equivalent on the personal card. I would have expected some incentive to get slid in here.
I think one thing we're underestimating is the combined squeeze from Boeing's issues and the long-known pilot shortage that has supply running a bit tight.
