I've become so fed up with the loyalty thing that it really doesn't hold much value anymore when I have to position somewhere else just to use a mileage redemption or seek an upgrade.
If they do this, it would honestly almost be a relief to me so I could just cut bait once and for all, LOL.
And I think a relief to others as well. I do find this whole thing quite irrational. Especially when I read of people doing tier runs or mileage runs or whatever they are called.
I stick with AA for business travel, because I have no choice. For personal, it's last resort. I go by which carrier I think has the best product that will get me there in the comfort I desire. AA's fare has to be substantially cheaper for me to consider it, if it is the metal being flown.
