FinnAir Update?
Any update on being able to book awards on FinnAir?
Back in May, they said it would be later this year, so the clock is ticking

Nope, Missy had it changed on the website from "Fall 2017" to "Coming Soon" since there is no date at this point.

Wonder if AA is pressuring AY on this?

Certainly the relationship with AA/OW is a whole lot more important to AY than this funny little AS deal.

Just wonderin'...

You mean illegal influence on the business amongst competitors?

The fact SQ is in the same spot right now, leads me to believe its not the reason.

I'm going to baselessly speculate that this could be a matter of AS not having the software engineering resources to handle award integrations while they're still working on VX integration.
