inlanikai, I agree with everything you said and, yet, still feel that AA is doing the right thing for AA. They're in business to make money, and this will make them money. As an EXP as wll, I think this sucks. However, as someone who also works for a company that tries to make money (so they can give me bigger raises and bonuses), I'd feel somewhat hypocritical complaining that A is doing the same thing.
Cheers.
