Amazing how little value AA has compared to CX or JAL....

CX and other alliance members see the same inventories you get from AA for awards....
Difference is, CX's own members can wait list award seats, while alliance members cannot.
Fact is, CX tightened up on award availability in premium classes....nothing to do with AA.... You could try using BA, QF, AS, CX, LA, IB, AY miles can still come to this "little value" conclusion based on your experience with award availability.....

I agree. CX award availability has been more limited recently. I checked for the entire month of March 2007 and there were a total of 5 flights out of North America with one single J seat availabile for mileage redemption and absolutely no F award seats.
CX must be doing very well in their premium cabins.
