As long as AS keeps earning based on miles flown they’ll be a good competition for DL and can remind ppl in commercials that low ultra cheap DL fare from SEA-MIA (or where ever) may only earn the passenger 1,000 frequent flyer miles or what will take 25 flights to earn a free ticket, while AS will award 4,000 miles or a free ticket in only about 6 r/t’s… That would sell me as a Kayaker on AS
Not thrilled about this encroachment. But on a positive note, I have very much taken advantage of the double EQM destinations AS is offering right now.

@Scott – for the majority of travelers, six 4K RTs would likely take 3(+) years – that’s a long time to tie up cash, I’d think they’d take the cheapest fare. And as a business traveler, my company doesn’t care at all about my free trips (unless I use them for business, which at least so far i don’t have to) – the lowest fare wins there, too.
Certainly tightly targeted ads might work…
