. And the logic is terrible, "well, it already was posted on two loud bullhorns (FT and gleff), I'll just add my bugle to the mix and nobody else will notice." VFTW's HT is also hilarious. There's also no chance you put that post together in whatever amount of time occurred between VFTW posting and yours. Fortunately, you've accounted for this in saying he "published" first, but you would have published had he not. For the record, I have no problem with you posting it (anything publicly available on FT is fair game), I just doubt I would have posted it here in the first place, as now it is being broadcast all over 
. And Sunday is a workday in AUH...I'm not booking as I can't find a decent place to credit this for elite qualifying miles. RDMs are meaningless to me as I have quite a few AA RDMs already
, which also means I'm not overly concerned about flying the product.

You published a post as an AUH-DFW one that doesn't exist . And the logic is terrible, "well, it already got out on two loud bullhorns (FT and gleff), I'll just add my bugle to the mix and nobody else will notice." VFTW's HT is also hilarious.
This is the new normal for 2014.

Yeah, I think it credits at 200% to air Berlin, I got my ticket number already.
I dare Etihad to cancel this, ow tix to the US HAS to be covered by DoT 399.88, this is not a connection to another country or any other way of getting around DoT regs.

I think the only worthwhile option is Air Berlin.. I think this would earn gold on AB if booked mostly in F.

And this ticket does not earn status, so, it is not worth the hassle to position (which is cheap from asia for me) and the fare is still 1500 usd, when I have 500K AA miles and no time to use it yet.

A really nice fare, but as someone else mentioned, EY doesn't credit to AS and that's what I need this year. So not worth cancelling my ex-MLE CX fare to replace with this one, even though I'd love to try EY F.
