AC needs to protect its revenue position and keep them flying with AC rather than defecting to another FF program. They will be earning SE or E, while having the fallback to Lifetime Elite, so I see AC's rationale for keeping the 3MM target for lifetime in its top tier.
Dear SH--3MM means 100,000 miles per year x 30 years flying on AC metal ONLY--that may be theoretically possible but practically will be extremely rare--so lifetime SE will be a rare bird--much like Mr. Bingham!!
