You need an education about how to give away SWUs?

Just call AA. I doubt you'll be able to use them. I've given away 10/16 or so in the past two years. No use at all. And I gave them to EXPs.

Why would I do that? As I’ve said, when I give them away, they’re of no value to others and end up going unused.

How does moving to Delta make a AA SWU valuable?
