New system is 2*10*2 or 40 points in any economy class (excluding O).  Even first will only be 100 points.My plan was long haul PEY...   So looks like CX Silver for me, with an odd QF SG if I need partner lounge access.  Unless AA is super generous with partner PEY earn after 2016.Happy wanderingFred</blockquote>
