Not only as a silver, but a lot as a gold.

I reassured the OP that switching to CO was probably a good idea (maybe not for upgrades) but otherwise yes rewarding. Although the OP has stated that they can keep AA EXP so they should be just fine if they get a lot of AA flights.
A) I am glad you thought it was witty

B) Misdirected? LOL. Dude- I quoted you directly and wrote "Move to EWR-land..." (see post #12 to refresh your memory) Why would I write that if I thought you already lived there? Pay attention.

C) By writing "I chose to live on the west coast and fly to hubs rather than the hubs out to increase my upgrade possibility" you are only proving my original point about the scarcity of upgrades for plats WHO HAPPEN TO BE HUB BASED LIKE THE OP

Good lord.
