I love how easily they can cut service, but not those annoying CC announcements. Giving people CC apps requires close contact too-- where's the COVID concern in that? I'm not claiming COVID isn't...

I was spending ~$50k/year on AA at one point, so perhaps not a particularly high-value flyer, but AA's loyalty program value reductions made me reduce my loyalty accordingly, so I dropped to Plat Pro...
