Avios has its place too. The key is knowing when to redeem Avios vs AA.
Avios is good for shorter haul flighs. For example, BLI to HNL is 25k pts vs more for other airlins.
On the other hand, AA might win depending on your redemption. Right now,
YVR->HKG in Cathay Busines class is 180000 Avios
The same rouet is 100000 AA.
Even with the 50% bonus, you're better off with AA.
