-- Blue Light Special at AA -- There will be no room left for Frequent Flyer upgrades when AA is done Kmarting out their First Class. They will lose core business customers. With the loss of 1st Class cabins due to RJ influx and now "cheap" revenue enhancement at AA, business customers will find somebody other than AA.
