Totally agree with you here and it seems that many members suggesting MA's introduction has little value are generally those members based outside of the Americas. If you read the BA board, it seems many BA boarders are happy with the introduction of MA just for the mileage and tier point opportunities. Having said that, several BA boarders have certainly sung MA's praises.

I certainly hope to be giving them a try later on this year!

I just hope IB don't disappear as that would put a huge hole in the OW network that will be near impossible to recreate with another carrier.
