No question that the AAdvantage program is here to stay, and the DM to go.

The AA program is by far more advanced and well set up systematic than the DM that has 0 system knowledge.

+1 But then again AA is the one in the mess.
The main question is whether AA Advantage is a profit making part of American Airlines

If they keep the current redemption values from TLV to the Far East, then I'll jump for joy.
(At least if they fix the LY booking issues)

US Airways and AA have the best redemption values in the whole industry.
Shame that we are going to miss one of them, and possibly some major changes to the other one.

The biggest loss will be US' generous routing rules.

The chart would be devalued at some point anyway.
