"There's no way they'd carry-over two years in a row, folks would be starting the year with 100k miles plus easily (I'm sure there were a few CP's who started this year with that much to begin with).
They'd do something else maybe, but not a rollover like they did last year."
I would have swore that Beckles would be right, and perhaps he is, kind of. However, I think the mistake that he and the rest of us have been making is that we are assuming that US Airways believes that the elite flier is important.

Well, it looks like I was probably wrong, what I overlooked is there are other protections they can put in place that I think they will to make the promotion feasible considering last year's similar move.
I believe that they will count miles/segments earned this year and not include prior year's roll-over balances towards this year's promotion ... the wording provided so far seems to indicate that might be true:
"all of the Preferred Miles and Segments you fly beyond 100,000 miles and 100 segments in 2002 will be added to your 2003 Preferred Miles and Segments balance."
Notice that is specifically says "fly" and not "earn" or other such wording.
