maybe I am dense, but you are saying:
1.) Spend $10K on the airpass.
2.) Then fly STT-SJU 100 times
3.) pay $24.44 per segment rather than the published rate of $56
4.) Enjoy EXP status
What happens to the remaining $7500 in airpass money? Does that expires within a year?
With 3 RT per day this would take you 17 days of straight flying.
I wonder how many times they would bump you for oversold situations.

It keeps up for the next year.

Or bring a companion and only have to fly 50x. I recall the companion miles credit to the primary pass holder.
I think you'd have to add in at least $5 per segment for the taxes.
