So you are suggesting that the person who has already invested $15,000 in non-refundable tickets, will more than likely be well on their way to achieving status after that expenditure, is going to throw all of that away and go to Westjet because AC didn't do a status match?
I'm pretty sure that person has already showed their hand and its not worth offering any more. They're already committed. Hook, line and sinker.

LOL. Almost 7 months later... a response.
Congratulations, you are now eligible to reach a higher Altitude status with an Altitude Challenge. As of August 28st, 2015, if you earn 18,500 Altitude Qualifying Miles (AQM) or 18 Altitude Qualifying Segments (AQS) on flights operated by Air Canada, Air Canada Express or Air Canada rouge over the next 90 days, you’ll be eligible to enjoy Altitude Elite 50K status through February 28, 2017. Your current Altitude status (if any) will not change at the beginning of the 90 day challenge period. Once you earn the required number of AQM or AQS, your status will be updated within four weeks, and you will be invited to choose your Select Privileges. Your Altitude package will follow within four to six weeks.
Best regards,
The Air Canada Altitude Team
My request was sent on February 3rd.
Sadly, I'm going to have to pass on this oh-so-generous offer.

Did you fly AC on the flights you have flown on since Aug.? If so, write them regarding the pasted flights and they should counts them. If somehow you can refuse the offer, will you still have status with the other airline to match?

Anyone has any experience in status matching to Super Elite 100k? I have multiyear 1K status.

AC is not generally in the habit of handing things out for free.
