For me personally it’s great. I always struggled with eqm being in dallas, but I spend 50k+ a year. Switching to purely dollar based is amazing for me.

Totally get for the average traveler it’s become very tough now to justify and once you fall off the hamster wheel of status it’s incredibly tough to get to that level again with the new structure. It’s very interesting that they are more or less admitting they don’t make money from flying alone by allowing you to get loyalty points through CC spend and shopping portals.

You should switch not because of the mileage program but because AA is an objectively terrible airline.
