Exactly.

Everybody jumps on the $58 R/T ORD/MSP times three to get about 33k miles or the $39 DFW/AUS fares to net 36K miles BOTH FARES about $100 less than normal AND NOT ONE SINGLE COMPLAINT HERE ABOUT THE FARES BEING TOO LOW

AA increases copay 20% and you would think the frigging world came to and end.

Which one of those two scenarios do you experts think will permit the airline to survive?
The people who complain that the premium class is below the standard of the competition are some of the same b.....ing about having the pay $50 more.
Do any you think $350 per segment to LHR is going to pay for "lay-flat" seats???
