I will never use BA points for long distance and international. The surcharge on international is outrageous.

For the most part i agree , there are certain ways to get around that but in general they are best used for short haul flights.

The biggest devaluation in my opinion is on the earning side. The cheapest tickets will now earn only 25% of miles travelled, which is terrible. Considering this, i will probably switch to earning aa miles when i fly over the ocean.
Luckily the short haul domestics are the same. The vile thing is that they introduced lower avios off-peak awards but only on BA metal! Thanks but no thanks. When they stop charging the ridiculous fuel surcharges (oil is at an all time low!!!) i might consider it

Actually, the lower Avios off-peak awards also apply to domestic flights - you book them on the BA web site but you travel on American Airlines.
