It's as if you're cueing up the AirShow Podcast that dropped recently.
The credit card is part and parcel part of the ecosystem. Charge for bags, then offer bags and proiroty boarding to somoen who'll pay $150 per year and generate 1-1.5% of spend in direct cash to AC. (Or $600 for lounge acess)
And by all means fly on partner airlines. Just make sure to book on 014 stock.
It's all part of the bigger picture. It's just that we on FT tend to (translated from a popular Quebec expression) 'sodomize flies'.
