Just speculating here. APC does can make one a bit paranoid, but really, that's half the fun, right?
It is that thought exactly, that is spooking our guys. It is being discussed currently on our forum.

AA will try anything to circumvent our SCOPE clause. This appears to be a new way.. Watch out CAL pilots. I am sure Smisek is taking notes.
