If I understand it correctly, there are no levels to AirTran Elite membership, so they probably match it to silver by default. Having 77 available credits has no bearing on status, it's all about number of flights within the year. I would think it would behoove you to print out your activity from last year, all 60+ flights (30 r/t) and send them another fax thanking them for the status match and requesting a bump up to Gold since the activity on your AirTran account from 2009 is comparable to the Gold Medallion level on Delta.

Please let us know when your status is good through (if it's good through Feb '10 or Feb '11).

Thanks and welcome to the frustration and joy of Delta ;-)
