But AS only match certain airlines and O6 is not on the list.

Actually AS has been fairly picky about not matching "unearned" status. Whether they decipher it from your submitted mileage statement, your Recent AS history, or have other mechanisms I don't know. But there have been a number of reported rejections for matching status that was not earned through flying (including one of my family members ).

But my point was merrly that I doubt other airlines would tell AS anything. Most likely they know whos matching who and ask for statements if they suspect matches
smart. I really do like the way AS works I just Wish they offered a challenge to those previously matched later wishful thinking I know

Yes they are very picky also they are strict on the once in a lifetime rule as I tried to rematch after I had foolishly burned my match years ago when I did not fly alot. Now that I average 150-200k a year paid travel they no longer would match so I had to stick with AA so again people make sure you match when the potential benefits are the best for you as you may NOT get a second chance

They matched my Northwest status to Gold back in 2005 and I never re-qualified with AS. In 2013 I got so fed up with DL, I asked AS if they would make an exception because I had moved back to Seattle, and had become so fed up with DL. They agreed to match my DL gold to MVP again. I guess it depends on your story and who you get to speak to?

Bottom line: MileagePlan will be overly generous and accommodating if you speak to them and explain your circumstances. They have the best customer service out of any US airline, hands down.
