Assuming AA flies the route and hasn't adopted either UA's operational model or DL's FF model, sure. But even then, DL runs a good operation and more choices are better than fewer choices, particularly since DL's choices could have some impact on the choices of AS's other SkyTeam partners.

On AA, free MCE for Gold is only within 24 hours of flight time. Golds can't pick MCE in advance.

Sorry I should have clarified i was referring to AS gold. I really hope the new AA does not call the lowest tier gold as it just causes confusion as the other domestic programs Gold is not the 25K level
