I respectfully disagree. It should be difficult enough to limit the # of lifetime Es in order to offer some real benefits (full E benefits). My guess is 1000000 status or BIS miles on AC.

I would hope lifetime status would come with all benefits associated with E status except for upgrade certs, MLL guest passes etc.
Offering a strong lifetime status program would greatly encourage AC Es/SEs to fly AC metal as often as possible.

I´m pretty sure that would be the case.
