Anyone have any experiences with a similar situation? Is it even worth crafting a nice letter to NWA execs asking for status 'match' from previous years?

Thanks in advance,

As someone else already said...probably more worth it than ever but your chances are pretty much zero. They are taking a very hard line this year due to the merger and the already bloated ranks between the two airlines. My guess: Not a prayer.
